Abstract
Este artículo analiza la evolución de la política exterior de Arabia Saudí, con un énfasis particular en la situación tras los levantamientos antiautoritarios de 2011. Con el marco teórico del realismo subalterno como punto de partida, el objeto de estudio se centra en cómo la estrecha vinculación entre la situación doméstica y los condicionantes externos, en particular en el contexto del Golfo y Oriente Próximo, ha orientado la forma en que la Corona ha articulado y desarrollado la estrategia exterior del país. El objetivo último del reino, ayer y hoy, consiste en garantizar la estabilidad de la Corona y otorgar legitimidad a su mandato. El artículo se centra en diferentes dimensiones de la llamada Doctrina Salman y en el destacado papel que en ella juega su hijo Mohammed bin Salman, príncipe heredero y actual ministro de Defensa, y repasa las principales cuestiones de la agenda nacional y regional del régimen saudí.
This article explores the evolution of Saudi Arabia’s foreign policy, with a particular emphasis on the context following the 2011 anti-authoritarian uprisings. Drawing on the theoretical framework of subaltern realism, the study focuses on the close link between the country’s domestic situation and external constraints, predominantly in the context of the Gulf and the so-called Middle East, and the way it has commanded the crown’s articulation and implementation of the country’s foreign strategy. The kingdom’s ultimate objective, both yesterday and today, is to guarantee the House of Saud’s stability and legitimacy. The text pays special attention to the different dimensions of the so-called ‘Salman doctrine’ and the key role played by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, currently Defense minister. It also reexamines the main issues on the Saudi regime’s national and regional agenda.
