Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The year 1973 is usually considered the great equaliser among major oil producers.

However, the "Visions" strategies of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, regarded as a middle power and small state respectively in the Middle East regional system, highlight the enhancement of economic power through broader economic relations. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates explores the impact of regime type and leadership style on the foreign policies of these two countries.

The book reveals how autonomy and influence, threat perception, and alliance patterns are intricately woven into the complex and personal "riyal politik" and economic statecraft that form the core of their international relations.
