| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The strategic partnership between Saudi Arabia and the US withstood the test of time despite occasional challenges. Even as the US dependence on Gulf oil weaned, the partnership continued due to foreign policy convergences and the security nexus. The Arab Spring uprisings challenged the partnership leading to foreign policy divergences. While the US looked for reducing its regional commitments, the Kingdom diversified relations with emerging powers. Notwithstanding the divergent foreign policy choices, which are likely to continue given global and regional geopolitics, the strategic partnership flourished, and is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. |
