Abstract:
2015 was a revolutionary year in Saudi Arabian history, marked by the controversial ascension to power of Crown Prince Mohammad Ben Salman, son of King Salman. During his subsequent reign, Crown Prince Ben Salman has set the firm objective of restoring Saudi Hegemony, a goal which he is concurrently pursuing ever since using a combination of changes implemented to domestic and foreign affairs. Whilst enforcing a change in historical political narrative in such short period of time is painted as unrealistic and unachievable, Mohammad Ben Salman’s ambition and determination, combined with his acuity and the significant changes he has enforced, in spite of their controversy and temporary repercussions, may possibly contribute to achieving this objective.
