Saudi Arabia is one of the Middle East’s most powerful countries, but its state, and the royal family that runs it, are a virtual black box. Answers to the complex questions of how Saudi works can be found in obsequiously long academic texts, but this knowledge has not yet been used by many analysts and journalists covering the region who still by and large view Saudi with an orientalist lens. This problem is confounded by the fact that most regional news outlets covering Saudi are funded either by Saudi itself or by rivals in the region.To understand this further, Al Bawaba spoke with Theodore Karasik, who breaks down how the Saudi royal family works internally and how it secures power throughout the country.
