- Summary:
- Saudi Arabia remains a closed society with its own interpretation of Islamic Law, an insistence on royal privilege, and an uneven record on human rights. This book represents a unique documentary insight into this hidden kingdom. Anders Jerichow has assembled a comprehensive collection of primary source documents on the elements of state power in Saudi Arabia. These range from laws, royal decrees, extracts from speeches to opposition comment, international reports and other previously unpublished confidential material.
