From the Paper
"Saudi Arabia, which occupies approximately four-fifths of the Arabian peninsula, is estimated to have more than one-fifth of all proven free-world oil reserves (U.S. Department of State [USDS] 5). The country is largely dependent on the exploration, transportation and exporting of oil and oil products, and has assumed a key role in political and economic affairs of the region. At the heart of the Saudi Arabian oil industry is a network of pipelines which transverse the country. This research examines those pipelines, in light of the country's history and recent events in the region, and in light of potential investment opportunities.
Saudi Arabia's topography is mainly desert, including the Rub Al-Khali (Empty Quarter), which is a vast, uninhabited expanse of sand in the southern part of the country. It is..."

Saudi Arabia, 2006.
This paper offers an analysis of Saudi Arabia's financial and political strength.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how Saudi Arabia has long been the de facto leader in the Middle East, due largely to its vast stores of proven oil reserves and its central role in the Islamic faith as the home of Mecca. The paper explains how Saudi Arabia has also taken a leading role in regional conflicts, in that it has often played a conciliatory role behind the scenes while maintaining a somewhat unyielding facade in negotiations with other Middle Eastern states. The paper points out that the financial markets in Saudi Arabia are as problematic as the social and political dimensions encountered with its borders. Saudi Arabia does not maintain a fully independent stock exchange but rather maintains the Saudi Arabia Monetary Agency, which acts as a de facto central bank and maintains an electronic stock trading program known as the Electronic Securities Information System, or the ESIS.

Abstract
This paper argues that Saudi Arabia should suffer economic and political sanctions due to its violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The paper focuses on Saudi Arabia's treatment of women and cites examples of how the government of Saudi Arabia routinely abuses the rights of Saudi Arabian women. The paper also describes the abuse and mistreatment of foreign women and explains why Saudi Arabia has been allowed to continue in this manner and talks about the UN responsibility in addressing the problem and holding Saudi Arabia accountable. A complete outline of the paper is included.
From the Paper
"Saudi Arabia holds an important position in the Arab, Muslim and international communities. Among the Arab countries, it holds an important position because of its economic strength, its position as the center of Islam and its role as the leader of the Arab Gulf countries. In the Muslim World, it is the most important nation because it is identified with Islam and is the home of the Islamic pilgrimage. Within the international community, Saudi Arabia's incredible oil wealth has made it an important country on whom many, including the United States, are dependant for their energy needs and requirements. This unique position of religious, regional and economic power has protected Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabians from facing the consequences of human rights abuse. The United Nations, which David P. Forsythe defines in "The United Nations and Human Rights, 1845-1985," as the international protector of human rights in the world, has mainly ignored Saudi Arabia's violation of human rights laws because of its international and regional economic, political and religious influence and power. Consequently, Saudi Arabia, defined by Tom Lantos in "Discrimination Against Women and the Roots of Global Terrorism," as a "gender apartheid" state, has continued to abuse the rights of both Saudi Arabian and foreign female workers (7). Not only that, but Saudi Arabia can further be defined as a racist state which denies all minority groups, including Saudi and foreign ones, their basic human rights. The Shiite Saudi Arabians are not treated as equal to the Sunni majority and live on the borders of the country, fearing prosecution (Peretz). The foreign Christian community, as reported by the US State Department's Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2002, is not allowed to practice its faith and, if members of it do, the punishment is execution. As for Saudi females, they are denied identity as human beings, referred to even by members of the Saudi Royal Family UBOs, or "Unidentified Black Objects" (Peretz). Lastly, foreign female workers are raped, beaten, overworked, denied their wages and locked in houses as prisoners. Despite the fact that these issues of abuse have received great attention by human rights organizations and the media, the United Nations and the international community has not taken action against Saudi Arabia, forcing it to abide by Islamic human rights or international human rights. Saudi Arabia should suffer economic and political sanctions due to its violation of the Universal Declaration of human rights and the Islamic human rights, seen in its oppression and abuse of Saudi women and foreign minority groups, including their imprisonment in the home and illegal executions."

A review of Saudi Arabia and the economic prospects of a country thought to be in exceptional standing.

Abstract
This paper discusses how at first glance, the economic prospects in Saudi Arabia might seem exceptional. After all Saudi Arabia is home to one of the largest reserves of oil in the world. The paper goes on to say that the industrial world quite literally turns on the oil that is produced in Saudi Arabia and some of its neighboring nations. Given that fact, it would seem that Saudi Arabians should be living well with a bright future ahead of them.
From the Paper
" While the current government has certainly taken great strides towards improving the economic situation in the nation, there are still significant troubles in Saudi Arabia, ones that will not easily be surmounted despite a recent surge in economic growth. One of biggest economic changes that has occurred in Saudi Arabia has happened over the past twenty or thirty years regarding per capita income."

Abstract
Saudi Arabia endures a unique history. It is the heartland of the Islamic religion and holds strong to the original traditions and values of the nation. The paper explains that the government is based primarily on Islamic law, and while simple additions and implementations have modernized the country, they have not forfeited any of the country's values or Islamic heritage. Saudi Arabia's geography is quite rare and plays a role in its economy. It looks at how agricultural improvements, along with the stable and ever-improving oil industry, have benefited the economy greatly. It concludes that Saudi Arabia will open itself to modernization over time, but is safe in its endeavors, as it is intent on upholding strong Islamic heritage and practices above all else.
From the Paper
"The first establishments of Saudi Arabia lied along the Arabian Peninsula in the early 18th century. The Middle East, of which Saudi Arabia lies, is the birthplace of civilization. Pioneers of the era set the stage for the climb of civilization in countries such as Babylon, Nineveh and Egypt through the early development of farming communities, developing agriculture, trading and the invention of writing. Evidence shows that trading along the Fertile Crescent (stretches from present-day Iraq to Turkey), as well as with Egypt and the Roman Empire, dates back to 3000 B.C. Early trade merchandise includes limited agricultural products, spices, textiles, gold and frankincense. Although Saudi Arabia experienced significant development in a short period, the country's most remarkable growth was during the 1930s due to oil discovery (Royal, 1)."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The main economic strength within the nation is oil. The nation currently possesses over 260 billion barrels of oil reserves which equals almost one quarter of the world's total petroleum reserves (Saudi Arabiahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Arabia#Politics).
While oil continues to be its largest economic strength the nation is trying to diversify its economy. This means it is an opportune time to go into business in Saudi Arabia. The country invested more than $25 billion to build a city called King Abdullah Economic City"(Saudi Arabiahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Arabia#Politics) . The city is currently under construction which provides many business opportunities both in its completion and in its maintenance once it is completed."

Saudi Arabia's Maritime Policies, 2007.
This paper suggests a holistic policy for Saudi Arabia's maritime resources.
4,738 words (approx. 19.0 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 121.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper probes the dominant and prevailing maritime issues that Saudi Arabia faces and considers some means by which a holistic approach could improve management of Saudi Arabia's significant maritime resources. These include important shipping lanes, offshore energy deposits, bountiful marine environments potentially ripe for aquaculture development and even the possibility of desalinization plants to produce freshwater in a predominantly desert nation. The paper explains how the preservation of effective management of these resources will produce long-term development and economic benefits for the nation, as well as help the nation preserve its maritime heritage for generations to come.
Outline:
Introduction
The Extent of the Maritime Sector for Saudi Arabia
Maintaining Peak Efficiency
Unique Regional Security Concerns
Importance of Environmental Integrity
Adopting European Clustering
Concluding Remarks
From the Paper
"Saudi Arabia is not a nation whose fate has been historically associated with the oceans. Images conjured of Saudi Arabia will involve oil fields and vast deserts. At first blush, there seems little reason to even consider a maritime policy for the nation, let alone a rational and holistic one that incorporates information from many maritime interests and successfully coordinates policy decisions for all. This is a misconception. In fact, Saudi Arabia has an intimate and strategic relationship with two major oceanic routes: the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. As the importance of these routes is certain to grow in the coming years and decades, it is important for Saudi Arabia to consider today the means by which a sensible maritime policy can be devised and implemented."

Expatriates in Saudi Arabia, 2004.
Examines Saudi Arabia's mistreatment of its foreign community and how the problem should be dealt with.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that Saudi Arabia may need expatriate professionals, business people, and house servants, but instead of treating them as humans who have the right to practice their religion or to have a social life, it persecutes and abuses them. Even the treatment it offers the uppe- class expatriate group is unsatisfactory, as they are virtually locked up, in addition to running the risk of arrest for false charges of prostitution if they socialize. The lower class of expatriates is also completely vulnerable. The paper argues that a high income might be a strong motivation for many to look for employment in Saudi Arabia, but the treatment and the risky consequences of doing so are too high. The paper concludes that all groups of expatriates, Arabs, Africans, Asians, and Westerners, should be detracted from employment in Saudi Arabia until the attitudes towards foreigners, which lead to exclusion from society and abuse, changes dramatically.
From the Paper
"Immigration from Arab countries to Western and Asian ones is a popular phenomenon while immigration to Arab countries is practically unheard of. The same factors that push Arabs to leave their countries, lack of democracy, poor economic opportunities and low quality public services, are the same factors that discourage immigration from the West or Asia to the Middle East. While few people from Western or Asian countries would consider leaving their countries to live in the Middle East permanently, many do seek career opportunities in the area, especially in Arab Gulf countries, noted for their wealth. The economic wealth of Gulf countries makes them an attractive magnet for expatriate Western and Asian workers. As stated in "Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," published by the U.S. Department of State, the expatriate community in Saudi Arabia has reached the figure of 6 million and foreigners form almost 70% of the Saudi Arabian labour market. The expatriate community is an extremely important factor in Saudi Arabia's path to economic and industrial development, because they transfer the knowledge and technology of the West to this desert, but rich, kingdom ("Kingdom of Saudi Arabia"). It is not an exaggeration to state that were it not for this foreign community, Saudi Arabia would have taken a much longer time and found it much harder to develop both its oil and its non-oil industries. Saudi Arabia knows this and pays its expatriate community and foreign workers who are involved in its economic and industrial development, very high salaries. Therefore, the economic motivation for both Westerners and Asians to work in Saudi Arabia and become a part of its expatriate community is strong. However, the economic factor is one of the only positive aspects of working in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia's foreign community is prevented from associating freely with Saudi citizens, from moving freely in the country, are a target of terrorist intentions, and are prevented from publicly practicing their non-Moslem religious beliefs."

Abstract
This paper examines how China, the most populated nation in the world, and one of the fast developing economies of the 21st century, has a history of drug abuse. It looks at how what started with opium has moved on to China being the leading supplier of new synthetic drugs in the Asian region. It analyzes the drug menace in China and studies it in contrast with Saudi Arabia, which has a zero tolerance policy, so that we can have a better picture of the social and economic impacts of drug abuse on the respective nations. It also highlights the discrepancies in the current system and the need for further reforms.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"China is by far the worst affected nation, a history of drug addiction, which spans many centuries. British imperialism wrote a whole new chapter in Chinese history by forcing the free trade of opium into the country. During the early nineteenth century Chinese tea, silk and other products found a great market in Britain and other European nations. Britain was bent upon finding a way to restore the trading equation in its favor. It found in China a land with plentiful opportunity for opium trade. Soon thousands of kilos of British opium entered Chinese market. The result was a drastic reverse in the trading scenario with huge monetary benefits for Britain and a virtual catastrophe for China. Lin Zexu, one of the chief Chinese officials destroyed more than 20 thousand boxes of opium."

Abstract
Analysis of Saudi Arabia as a key economic power because of its large oil reserves. Comparison with other Middle Eastern countries. Key macroeconomic statistics. High GDP. Low inflation rate. High trade balance. Oil prices and levels of production. High unemployment rate. Need for foreign investment to provide jobs. Future outlook.
From the Paper
"Introduction
Saudi Arabia is a key economic power in the international market because of its large reserves of oil and the dependence that the rest of the world has on oil. A key member of OPEC, Saudi Arabia influences both the price and production levels of oil and uses its key position for political as well as economic strategy. However, the nation is also dependent on its trading partners to provide it with much of the goods that it cannot produce internally, and its heavy reliance on the United States has resulted in an odd strategic alliance between the two nations. This research considers the current economic position of Saudi Arabia relative to other Middle Eastern countries as well as its own performance, and what is likely to occur in the nation's economy in the future."

Abstract
This paper discusses Islam and modernity. Specifically, the paper looks at Saudi Arabia and democracy. The paper argues that Saudi Arabia, like most Islamic countries in the Middle East, is not following a Western developmental path and therefore, that democracy in these countries is not going to be like democracy in the west.
From the Paper
"Saudi Arabia and Democracy Middle Eastern Islamic countries are usually seen as primitive and backwards by Western Scholars. For example, In Iran: Change in Islam; Islam and Change Nikki R. Keddie argues, The progress-oriented secularist concentration of most Western and Middle Eastern scholars not only prevented them from foreseeing major developments, but skewed their view of the past, including ideological and religious history (Keddie 528). Even though many of these societies may appear to be primitive and backwards to most developed countries they are constantly developing."

Abstract
This paper studies the way to transform showroom visitors into customers when selling American used cars in Saudi Arabia. It reports that the methodology included personal in-depth interviews using two sets of survey questions created to compliment this study and secondary data from previous published articles. The paper relates that, while deeming potential used car buyers to be hesitant "one chance customers", when a seller gains insight into buyers' habits, he/she enhances the understanding of a customer which amplifies positive customer engagement, and in turn, increases the likelihood that a showroom visitor will become a satisfied customer. The paper includes questionnaires and color illustrations.

From the Paper
"Customers invest effort and time when searching to select a used car dealer, just as sellers invest time to secure customers. "Word of mouth" communication, the report a customer verbalizes to his/her family and friends is one particularly, potent "tool" regularly used to gain new customers. A seller does not have to invest substantial funds, market his product, or invest special sales' resources, as the customer. The way a customer perceives the seller, however, determines whether "word of mouth" communication will prove to be positive of negative."

Abstract
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")."
