چکیده:
The government of Saudi Arabia is a monarchy, and the nature of the power structure in this country is unique, summarized in the House of Saud. The government system is personal and traditional. Members of this family are absolute rulers, and the focus of most economic and political activities is more on 'oil' than on accountability. The will of the rulers takes precedence over the law. In today's Saudi Arabia, it can be said that Saudi Arabia, plus oil, means everything, and Saudi Arabia, minus oil, means a vast land largely covered by desert and dryness. Saudi Arabia's lack of convergence with the global productive economy and its strategic convergence with the hegemonic system have been made possible largely through its role as a major oil producer in the world. The main question of this article is what characteristics the political and economic structure of Saudi Arabia is based on, and its hypothesis is that the patrimonial political structure and state-led economy are being investigated. The main goal is to examine political and economic monopolies and their consequences in Saudi Arabia. In this article, we have tried to provide solutions for the progress of this country while examining the politics and economy of Saudi Arabia. The research method in this study is descriptive-analytical.
خلاصه ماشینی:
The existence of patriarchal and traditional systems at the top of the power pyramid and the lack of a party system, as a balancing weight between public demands and executive policies, as well as the existence of rigid laws and a centralized decision-making system, especially in several countries on the southern periphery of the Persian Gulf region, has led to a kind of political backwardness and delaying the process of expanding civil society and public participation in social and political decision-making.
Patriarchal, Patrimonial, Neo-Patrimonial Political Structures and Growth and Development The existence of patriarchal and traditional systems at the top of the power pyramid and the lack of a party system, as a balancing weight between public demands and executive policies, as well as the existence of rigid laws and a centralized decision-making system, especially in some countries on the southern coast of the Persian Gulf region, has led to a kind of political backwardness and delaying the process of expanding civil society and public participation in social and political decision-making.
This is because all economic activities, including industrial, service, and commercial ones, are overshadowed by the oil situation, and all the statistics that the Saudi government presents on economic growth and development, although they may be numerically correct, the increasing involvement of Saudi Arabia in the global economy, through oil revenues and the deep revolution that new consumption patterns have created in minds, has strengthened the role and power of technocrats whose leaders are educated in the United States and return with American ideas.
