The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses how modern day Saudi Arabia, a country run by a monarchy, currently occupies most of the Arabian Peninsula and stands as the largest country, in area, in the Middle East. In particular, it looks at how Saudi Arabia has undergone a large amount of change and improvements in its culture and society in the past few years.

From the Paper:

"The country remains a principal manufacturer of oil and natural gas and possesses more or less 25% of the world's confirmed oil reserves. The government continues to chase economic improvement and diversification, predominantly since Saudi Arabia's succession to the World Trade Organization in December 2005, and encourages foreign investment in the monarchy. A rapidly increasing population, aquifer exhaustion, and an economy principally reliant on petroleum productivity and prices are all continuing governmental concerns ("Background")."
