Podcast appearances and mentions of madawi al rasheed

Desde el 7 de octubre, Oriente Medio se encuentra sumergido en un nuevo ciclo de violencia. El ataque terrorista perpetrado por Hamás ha dejado más de 1,200 muertos y cerca de 200 israelíes secuestrados en un solo día, según el Gobierno de Benjamín Netanyahu. Israel ha respondido con múltiples ofensivas en la Franja de Gaza. Mientras los medios de comunicación exhiben los números de fallecidos y muestran el sufrimiento y el dolor que están viviendo ambos pueblos, también existen personas que luchan por un futuro común en paz, pero su labor no se visibiliza con la misma fuerza. Corresponsales de paz da voz a ciudadanos como la cineasta francesa Lorraine Lévy, autora del film "El hijo del otro", la directora financiera de la ONG israelí Standing Together, Yael Drier Shilo; la encargada de las relaciones internacionales de la asociación israelí Women Wage Peace, Judith Gilbert y la fundadora de la asociación palestina Women of the sun, Reem Hjajara. También abordamos esta cuestión de la mano de los académicos Nathan Brown, profesor de Ciencias Políticas y Asuntos Internacionales en la Universidad George Washington; Madawi Al-Rasheed, profesora de Antropología social de la Escuela de Economía y Ciencias Políticas de Londres y experta en política de Medio Oriente y Ángel Barahona, doctor en Filosofía, Catedrático y profesor de la Facultad de Humanidades de la Universidad Francisco de Vitoria (Madrid).

This event was the launch of the paper 'A New Diaspora of Saudi Exiles: Challenging Repression from Abroad' by Professor Madawi Al-Rasheed published under the LSE Middle East Centre Paper Series. Since the rise of Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman in 2017, a new wave of exodus began, that has pushed feminists, young students, secularists, Islamists and others to flee the country in search of safe havens in the US, Europe, Canada and Australia. Based on ethnographic research, this paper traces the diversity of the young cohort of exiles who are currently seeking to counter domestic repression from abroad. Although Saudi Arabia has generated waves of exiles throughout its modern history, Al-Rasheed argues this recent diaspora is different in its diversity, demographic profile and aspirations. Madawi Al-Rasheed is Visiting Professor at the LSE Middle East Centre and a Fellow of the British Academy. Since joining the Centre, she 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. Her latest books are 'Salman's Legacy: The Dilemmas of a New Era' (London: Hurst/OUP, 2018) and 'The Son King: Reform and Repression in Saudi Arabia' (London: Hurst/OUP, 2020). Armine Ishkanian is Professor of Social Policy and the Executive Director of the Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity programme at the International Inequalities Institute, LSE. Armine's research examines the relationship between civil society, democracy, development, and social transformation. She has examined how civil society organisations and social movements engage in policy processes and transformative politics in a number of countries including Armenia, Egypt, Greece, Russia, Turkey, and the UK.

The rapid rise of Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman ... Madawi: MbS is Saudi Arabia's response to the Arab Spring ... Populism and the murder of Jamal Khashoggi ... Why Saudi Arabia cares so much about Iran ... Madawi: Don't expect an Israeli flag in Riyadh quite yet ... How much can Biden influence Saudi policy? ... Has MbS bitten off more than he can chew? ...

The Son King by Madawi Al-Rasheed is a blistering new book revealing the ruthless repression in MBS’ Saudi Arabia. In this episode, listen to Madawi in conversation with writer and historian Justin Marozzi about the dangerous contradictions at the heart of the Saudi regime.

President Biden has reportedly paused arms sales to Saudi Arabia as his administration reviews relations with its long-time strategic ally. But is there any prospect of external or internal pressure challenging the authority of Saudi Arabia’s de facto leader Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman? Stephen Sackur speaks to exiled opposition activist Madawi Al-Rasheed. What next for Saudi Arabia, reform, repression, or maybe both?

PLEASE NOTE: We apologise for any Arabic interference you may hear during the recording which was due to technical difficulties. 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. Charting old and new challenges to the fragile Saudi nation from the kingdom’s very inception, this blistering book exposes the dangerous contradictions at the heart of the Son King’s Saudi Arabia.

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.

In 2018 journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi regime operatives, shocking the world and drawing widespread condemnation. Mohammad bin Salman, the kingdom’s young crown prince, denied any involvement in the killing but his reputation as a moderniser was tarnished. Bin Salman had tried to build an international reputation as a reformer by allowing women to drive and permitting concerts in Saudi Arabia for the first time, but the brutal killing reminded the world that the kingdom was still one of the most repressive societies on earth.In December 2020, Madawi Al-Rasheed, a Saudi dissident and author of the new book The Son King, came to Intelligence Squared to describe what she sees as essentially a con-trick: a purported programme of reforms that mask a new regime of oppression. In conversation with the BBC’s Middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen, she discussed the Saudi regime’s new online strategy of disinformation intended to promote a progressive image to the outside world, while cracking down on diverse critical voices—religious scholars, feminists and dissident youth at home. Al-Rasheed will also challenge what she calls an Orientalist view of despotism in the West, that sees dictatorship as the only pathway to stable governance in the kingdom.

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.

Speakers: Danny Postel, Northwestern University; Madawi Al-Rasheed, LSE Middle East Centre; Nader Hashemi, University of Denver; Toby Matthiesen, University of Oxford; Eskandar Sadeghi-Boroujerdi, University of Oxford As the Middle East descends ever deeper into violence and chaos, ‘sectarianism’ has become a catch-all explanation for the region’s troubles. The turmoil is attributed to ‘ancient sectarian differences’. In this talk, editors Nader Hashemi and Danny Postel join Madawi Al-Rasheed, Toby Matthiesen and Eskandar Sadeghi-Boroujerdi to challenge the use of ‘sectarianism’ as a magic-bullet explanation for the region’s ills, focusing on how various conflicts in the Middle East have morphed from non-sectarian (or cross-sectarian) and nonviolent movements into sectarian wars. Recorded on 8 May 2017.

Speaker: Madawi Al-Rasheed, LSE Middle East Centre Chair: Toby Dodge, LSE Middle East Centre Analysis of both official and opposition Saudi divine politics is often monolithic, conjuring images of conservatism, radicalism, misogyny and resistance to democracy. In this event, Madawi Al-Rasheed launches her new book in which she challenges this stereotype by examining a long tradition of engaging with modernism that gathered momentum with the Arab uprisings and incurred the wrath of both the Saudi regime and its Wahhabi supporters. She also challenges much of the scholarly received wisdom on Islamism in general, blurring the boundaries between secular and religious politics. Recorded on 14 January 2016.

On Start the Week Andrew Marr looks at the fortunes of Saudi Arabia. The academic Madawi Al-Rasheed challenges pre-conceived ideas about divine politics and uncovers the religious leaders, intellectuals and activists who are looking at modernising the country. William Patey is the former UK ambassador in the region and argues that although the House of Saud is resilient, strains are starting to appear. The American economist Deirdre McCloskey sees fault lines elsewhere in the country's failure to promote and encourage innovation; she believes that although Saudi Arabia has capital accumulation and oil, without creativity and ideas it will not flourish. The historian Ian Morris takes the long view as he studies 20,000 years of international relations and argues that each age and region gets the great powers it needs, and what that means for Saudi Arabia. Producer: Katy Hickman.

Om diplomatisk kris och nobbade genderutbildningar när den feministiska utrikespolitiken ställts inför sitt första riktiga test. Vad får det egentligen kosta att prioritera kvinnors rättigheter? Och vilka dörrar öppnas och stängs när Sverige satsar på jämställdhet som militärexport? Hör röster från Kungsängen, Jeddah och Washington om hur väl feminism fungerar som vapen. Veckans Konflikt handlar om hur det gått för den svenska feministiska utrikespolitiken, hur väl den klarat sig under den diplomatiska krisen med Saudiarabien och vi ställer också frågan om vad som händer med bilden av Sverige när feminism och genderfrågor sätts så högt på vår internationella agenda. Vi börjar med att ställa frågan till en av de kvinnor som är den nuvarande saudiska regimens mest kända kritiker. Madawi Al-Rasheed, som kommer från en ledande saudisk familj och som nu är gästprofessor vid London School of Economics. Hon tycker att det är modigt av Sverige att så öppet kritisera Saudiarabien och dra världens uppmärksamhet till kvinnors situation och brotten mot de mänskliga rättigheterna i landet. Anja Sahlberg intervjuade. Genderfrågor har fått en allt större roll även inom säkerhetspolitiken. Maysam Behravesh är doktorand i statsvetenskap i Lund, med fokus på utrikes- och säkerhetspolitik och skrev nyligen en artikel - som fått stor spridning på nätet - där han argumenterar för att även stater kan beskrivas efter könstillhörighet. Saudiarabien är inte bara en patriarkal stat, utan är till och med så genomsyrad av maskulinitet att man har svårt att ta kritik formulerad av en kvinna från en feminin socialdemokratisk stat som Sverige. Margareta Svensson intervjuade. Vid Livgardet utanför Stockholm finns världens främsta genderutbildning för militärer och hit kommer personal från Nato, FN-styrkor och andra internationella fredsstyrkor för att utbilda sig i vikten av ett genderperspektiv vid militära insatser. Konflikts Anja Sahlberg gav sig dit för att höra vad det är man får lära sig. Efter vårt förra program om feministisk säkerhetspolitik så var det flera som hörde av sig , en av dem var Johan Kylander och hans kritik då var inte nådig. "Världsrekord i naivitet" var ett av omdömena. I veckans program hör ni honom utveckla sina resonemang. Studiogäster är Robert Egnell, docent i krigsvetenskap vid Försvarshögskolan men just nu forskare vid Georgetown university i Washington med inriktning på kvinnor, fred och säkerhet och Johan Westerholm, socialdemokratisk debattör med bloggen Ledarsidorna.se och med ett förflutet som militär. Om ni har synpunkter på veckans program eller i övrigt vill tipsa om något vi borde ta upp, hör av er till konflikt@sverigesradio.se.

The history of the world as told through one hundred of the objects that time has left behind. The objects are from the British Museum and tell the story of humanity over the past 2 million years. They are chosen by the museum's director, Neil MacGregor. This week he is exploring the world along and beyond the Silk Road in the 7th century AD at a time when the teachings of the prophet Muhammad were transforming the Middle East forever. Today he looks at how the Syrian capital Damascus was rapidly becoming the centre of a new Islamic empire. He tells the story through two gold coins that perfectly capture the moment - with contributions from the historian Hugh Kennedy and the anthropologist Madawi Al-Rasheed. Producer: Rebecca Stratford.
