Abstract
|
:
|
The major scholarship on state formation tends to privilege external (colonial or post-colonial) factors when it addresses cases of non-European states. Contributing to a growing literature that complicates such a tendency, this thesis challenges the standard view of the rise of Arab national states by demonstrating how the formation of the Saudi Arabian modern state was primarily driven by internal factors. It suggests that the emergence of a centralized state in the early twentieth century Arabia was largely a response to internal threats rather than a consequence of war threats or a construction of a colonial project.
