This comprehensive book delves into an in-depth analysis of authority structures in Saudi Arabia during the twentieth century, as presented in two renowned Western newspapers, The London Times and The New York Times. The author begins by providing a historical overview of Saudi Arabia, spanning from the establishment of the Kingdom in 1901, when Ibn Saud left his exile in Kuwait to reclaim Riyadh from Al-Rasheed's rule, until the passing of King Fahd in 2005. This historical foundation sets the stage for the book's theoretical framework, specifically Webers original conception of authority. Webers notion of authority, characterized by three distinct types—traditional, charismatic, and rational-legal—is applied to an analysis of the two newspapers throughout the twentieth century. To facilitate this analysis, a timeline is devised, based on significant turning points in Saudi history, including Ibn Saud's declaration of the Kingdom in 1932 and King Faisal's assassination in 1975.
Through this comprehensive analysis, the book unveils the various ways in which conceptions of authority in the Middle East were presented to Western audiences, while also shedding light on the political agendas inherent to this coverage in the UK and the US. This book is a must-read for anyone with an interest in Saudi Arabian history, Western perspectives on the Middle East, and the sociology of media. It offers a rich and insightful perspective on a crucial period in Saudi Arabian history and provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of power and authority in the region.
