Preserving the Saudi Monarchy

Preserving the Saudi Monarchy

Samuel E. Willner

Springer International Publishing AG
2023
sidottu
This book provides a new perspective on the study of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its monarchy – its political leadership and decisions. Moreover, it analyzes how that decision-making evolved before, during, and after the Arab–Israeli War of 1973, and the subsequent Arab oil embargo that followed; the run-up to and aftermath of the 1975 murder of King Faysal; discussions over the oil weapon; and Saudi responses to the Carter presidency in the United States. Through the prism of tribal decision-making, this book sheds new light on a number of important political events, which have shaped the political leadership in Saudi Arabia, and explores the behind-the-scenes workings of the Saudi royal family.

The Lure of Transcendence and the Audacity of Prayer
The discourse of prayer responds to the abiding lure of transcendence. From Gilgamesh to the primordial human beings in Eden to Odysseus, the quest for ultimate truths has summoned forth all manner of human effort - courageous, desperate, pious, impious, successful, failed, invited, forbidden - and like all such lures, one can never be certain whether the glimmer of transcendence is that of a bright and shining star that illuminates the shadows or only a shiny object that seduces one into an inescapable darkness (a fishing lure, for example). In this study, Samuel E. Balentine demonstrates how prayer's invocation of God transgresses the limits of human beings. The author shows how inviting, let alone commanding God to speak may be the "acme of bardic pretention," but in the ancient world such transgression characterizes the audacity of prayer.
Die anonyme Macht

Die anonyme Macht

Samuel E. Finer

Vs Verlag Fur Sozialwissenschaften
1960
nidottu
Dieses Buch trägt den Titel »Die anonyme Macht« (Anonymous Empire) - es schließt mit den Worten: »Licht! Mehr Licht!«-, es enthält eine Analyse des (englischen) Lobbyismus. Damit ist beinahe alles, was im Prinzip und im Ergebnis über den Lobbyismus - nicht nur in England - gesagt und gefordert werden muß, zum Ausdruck gebracht. Niemand kann und wird heute noch die Tatsache bestreiten wollen, daß die Lobby, daß Verbände und Interessenorganisationen zur gesellschaft­ lichen und politischen Wirklichkeit gehören und in ihr eine Funktion erfüllen, nämlich die Funktion, zur politischen Willens­ bildung in der modernen Massendemokratie wesentlich bei­ zutragen. Sie sind an sich weder gut noch schlecht, sie haben aber gute und schlechte Seiten; sie können sehr nützlich, sie können aber auch sehr geftihrlich sein; sie können zur Gefahr werden. Gerade aus diesem Grunde ist es geboten, sie genau zu kennen, um ihre Tätigkeit, ihre Aktionen, ihre Tendenzen zu wissen, »mehr Licht« in ihre Wirkungsrichtung und in ihre Wirkungs­ breite zu bringen. Nur das Unbekannte, das Ungreifbare, das Anonyme ist bedrohlich. Was man kennt und damit erkennt, ist zu fassen, zu begreifen, zu »zähmen«.
