Economic Globalization: The Modernization Process Under Vision 2030

More about the book

The study explores income inequality in Saudi Arabia, highlighting how economic growth from 2016-2020, despite its successes, has masked disparities between Saudi nationals and migrant workers. It emphasizes the impact of KSA's Vision 2030 modernization efforts, which face challenges from both internal factors, such as the kingdom's rentier state dynamics and conservative identity, and external threats like the Iranian Houthi influence in Yemen and the global pandemic. These elements collectively hinder the nation's ability to fully benefit from economic globalization.
