| Summary/Abstract |
FUTURE GENERATIONS will associate the early twenty-first century with an upsurge of international tension and the emergence of new security threats in all spheres of human life and activities. In the Middle East, the process began five years ago with the Arab Spring, the term coined to describe a wave of radical Islamism that inundated the region. Today, it is a knot of numerous geopolitical, economic, demographic, religious and other contradictions of worldwide significance. Disentanglement will require time and political will. The rising confrontation between two camps of world power - the U.S., EU, Turkey, and the oil monarchies led by Saudi Arabia, on the one side, and Russia, Iran and China, on the other - makes the conflicts more complicated and the prospects of their settlement vaguer.

| Summary/Abstract |
SO FAR, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), as well as the other Arab monarchies (with the exception of Bahrain), remains outside the "Arab thaw" zone. Its top crust has preserved political and social stability which relied for many years and relies now on three factors: first, petrodollars which deal with real and potential causes of social unrest; second, the regime which sides with the conservative religious circles and tribal leaders; third, the West, the United States in the first place, which guarantees national security.
