Críticas
If there is anyone who can write knowledgeably and intelligently about Saudi Arabia, it is Andrew Hammond. His deep knowledge of politics and culture in the Middle East uniquely qualifies him to undertake this project. Hammond's track record is independent and critical, and this book adds to our knowledge of a kingdom that is often shrouded with mystery and propaganda. (As'ad AbuKhalil, Department of Politics, California State University Stanislaus, author of 'The Battle for Saudi Arabia: Royalty, Fundamentalism, and Global Power')
Fascinating. Reconciles the demands of scholarly depth with keen personal insights into everyday life in Saudi Arabia. (Dr Larbi Sadiki, Senior Lecturer in Middle East Politics, University of Exeter)
A timely and insightful book exposing the many myths underpinning the stability of the Saudi state. Packed with sharp analysis on the ruling family's religious alliances, its grappling with terrorists, and its looming inability to keep spending its way out of political crises, Hammond's work is an Arab Spring must-read. (Dr Christopher M. Davidson, Reader in Middle East Politics, Durham University, author of Dubai: The Vulnerability of Success and editor of Power and Politics in the Persian Gulf Monarchies)
Reseña del editor
Will Saudi Arabia join the democratic wave in the Middle East? The uprisings and revolutions of 2011 do not, yet, seem to have affected the stability of the House of Saud, which remains secretive, highly repressive and propped up by the West.
The Islamic Utopia uses a range of sources including first-hand reporting and recently released WikiLeaks documents to examine Saudi Arabia in the decade after the 9/11 attacks, when King Abdullah’s 'reform' agenda took centre stage in public debate. It considers Saudi claims of 'exemption' from the democratic demands of the Arab Spring.
Andrew Hammond argues that for too long Western media and governments have accepted Saudi leaders' claims to be a buttress against jihadist Islam and that a new policy is needed towards the House of Saud.
