This webinar will be the launch of Professor Madawi Al-Rasheed's latest book The Son King: Reform and Repression in Saudi Arabia. In this book, Madawi Al-Rasheed lays bare the world of repression behind Saudi crown prince Muhammed bin Salman's reforms. She dissects the Saudi regime’s propaganda and progressive new image, while also dismissing Orientalist views that despotism is the only pathway to stable governance in the Middle East.

Madawi Al-Rasheed is Visiting Professor at the London School of Economics Middle East Centre and a Fellow of the British Academy. Since joining the MEC, Madawi has been conducting research on mutations among Saudi Islamists after the 2011 Arab uprisings. This research focuses on the new reinterpretations of Islamic texts prevalent among a small minority of Saudi reformers and the activism in the pursuit of democratic governance and civil society. The result of this research project, sponsored by the Open Society Foundation Fellowship Programme, appeared in a monograph entitled Muted Modernists (2015, Hurst & OUP). Her latest edited book, Salman’s Legacy: The Dilemmas of a New Era was also published by Hurst in 2018.

When the young Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ascended to power in 2017, he was hailed among the west as a liberal reformer, and was welcomed by Hollywood celebrities and world leaders alike. But what's happened to Saudi Arabia's supposedly radical programme of reform? Saudi expert Madawi al-Rasheed joins the Prospect Interview and takes us behind the power struggles and social debates gripping the country.

A falling oil price has led to tax hikes and allowance cuts in Saudi Arabia. The BBC's Middle East business correspondent, Sameer Hashmi, tells us the scale of a drop in profits at state oil giant Saudi Aramco still caught analysts by surprise. And we consider the wider implications of a period of austerity on Saudi citizens with Madawi al-Rasheed, visiting professor at the London School of Economics Middle East Centre. Also in the programme, with massive rescue spending programmes initiated all around the world to stave off the economic effects of coronavirus lockdowns, the BBC's Ed Butler asks what lessons have been learnt from the last time widespread bailouts were dished out, after the 2008 financial crisis. Plus, as governments encourage people to take to their bikes when they return to work, to reduce the pressure on public transport, we ask whether it's likely to be successful, and hear about a scheme in France where bike users can get the cost of repairs reimbursed.

The brutality of the Saudi royal family had been hiding in plain sight. It was an open secret convenient to the political, media and business elites for whom the Kingdom means big business and an invaluable geostrategic proxy. But the brutal murder and dismemberment of a single Washington Post columnist, Jamal Khashoggi, has forced Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman and his American enablers onto the defensive as the regime's brutal war on Yemen, global support for Salafist fundamentalism, and kleptocratric repression have suddenly been subjected to intense public scrutiny. Dissident scholar Madawi al-Rasheed explains the history and political-economy of Saudi Arabia, and the now-frustrated efforts at obfuscation mounted by bin Salman and his allies.

The Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi disappeared after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul last week. Amid a welter of speculation and lurid allegations, a cloud of suspicion now hangs over the Saudi Government. The record of Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman, the Kingdom’s de facto ruler, suggests a determination to silence all criticism. Stephen Sackur speaks to Saudi academic Madawi al-Rasheed and former senior US diplomat, Nicholas Burns. Is ‘MBS’ taking his kingdom down a dangerous path? (Photo: Saudi academic Madawi al-Rasheed)

Iran har öppnat sig mot Väst med kärnteknikavtalet. Men Iran är också i krig i Syrien och Irak. Hör röster från Washington, Teheran och Stockholm om Irans presidentval och vägen mellan krig och fred. Dagens Konflikt handlar om konsekvenserna av det iranska presidentvalet där rösterna under sändningens gång är på väg att räknas. Allt tyder på en storseger för den sittande presidenten Rouhani. Men för att förstå vad det är som stått på spel i det här valet börjar vi med att backa bandet några dagar och närma oss den iranska politiken lite utifrån. Över hela världen finns nämligen en gigantisk iransk diaspora, som en följd de dramatiska förändringar som landet genomgått under de senaste årtiondena - framför allt i samband med den iranska revolutionen 1979 och den förföljelse av oliktänkande som varit en stor del av inrikespolitiken sedan dess. Så det är inte så konstigt som det låter att söka svar om iransk inrikespolitik på ett kafé vid Sergels torg - och det var också just vad vår reporter Kajsa Olsson gjorde, där träffade hon Sara som berättar hur livet förändrats till det bättre för hennes mamma de senaste åren, sedan Rouhani tillträdde. I reportaget får vi också höra Ammar Maleki, professor på Tilburg University i Nederländerna och människorättsadvokaten Shadi Sadr som också lever i exil,  tala om om hur lite som hänt när det gäller frihet och mänskliga rättigheter under Rouhanis första mandatperiod. Det område där det hänt mest är i stället relationen till omvärlden och det historiska närmandet mellan Iran och väst som kom till stånd genom kärnenergiavtalet. Detta avtal går ut på att Iran tillåter internationella inspektioner av sin kärnenergiframställning för att säkerställa att det är just energi och inte kärnvapen man framställer. Och i utbyte har landet fått stora lättnader av de sanktioner som tidigare drabbat ekonomin väldigt hårt. Fler länder står bakom avtalet men mest fokus har hamnat på närmandet mellan Iran och USA ,och många menar att det var just förre presidenten Obama som tillsammans med Rouhani gjorde det hela möjligt. Men, nu har vi ju en ny amerikansk president i Vita huset. Under valrörelsen gick Donald Trump hårt åt kärneknikavtalet som han kallade världens sämsta uppgörelse någonsin. Men vad hans egen Iranpolitik egentligen består av är fortfarande oklart. Det tycker två Iranbevakare i USA som SR:s korrespondent i Washington Inger Arenander talade med i veckan: Susanne Maloney på tankesmedjan Brookings och Reuel Marc Gerecht från neokonservativa Foundation for Defence of Democracy i Washington. Samtidigt som rösträkningen pågår i Iran landade Donald Trump på sin första utrikesresa som president. Dom där första resorna brukar vara symboliska, Obama åkte till grannen Kanada, Stefans Löfvéns första officiella besök var hos grannen Finland. Trump har valt Saudi-Arabien. Det är det land som, vid sidan av Israel är USAs klassiska allierade i mellanöstern, ett land som under Obamas tid fick en smärre chock när USA med kärnteknikavtalet närmade sig den tidigare gemensamma fienden Iran. För att förstå den här chocken bättre så ringde Konflikts Jesper Lindau upp den Madawi al-Rasheed saudisk professor vid London School of Economics och känd kritiker av den saudiska ledningen. Hon tecknar en mörk bild av ökade spänningar mellan Iran och Saudiarabien. Sanam Vakil från tankesmedjan Chatham House i London ger sin bild av varför Iran är så öppet expansivt just nu i närområdet genom sitt militära engagemang i Syrien, Irak och Jemen.
