Abstract
The anti-government uprisings that were widespread in North Africa and the Middle East in 2011 showed the fragility and growing rupture of the social contract inherited from the 20th century in the Arab countries. In turn, they had an impact beyond the borders of each state, threatening to modify the status quo in the region, and with it Saudi Arabia's hegemonic position in an increasingly discordant, unstable and liquid regional environment. Knowing the past and present of both the domestic policy of the Saudi state and its foreign policy is essential to understanding the current situation of the region and envisaging its future.
