Women are beginning to see changes that allow them more freedom; yet the country still restricts them in ways unimaginable in Western society. The government's ambitious Saudi Vision 2030 plan aims to modernize the infrastructure, technology, and tourism sectors to make Saudi Arabia more attractive to the international community. But the country's harsh social policies risk alienating visitors and investors alike. As world economies pivot from fossil fuels to "greener" alternatives, Saudi Arabia risks losing its main source of income--oil--and the wealth of social services it provides for its growing population. To remain an influential player in Middle Eastern politics and a dominant force in world economics, Saudi Arabia will have to navigate through a dizzying social and economic transformation. 651 0 $a Saudi Arabia $x Civilization $y 21st century $v Juvenile literature. 651 0 $a Saudi Arabia $x Politics and government $v Juvenile literature. 651 0 $a Saudi Arabia $x Social conditions $v Juvenile literature. 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Civilization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862898 651 7 $a Saudi Arabia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210372 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Juvenile works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411637 830 0 $a Nations in the news. 941 $a 1 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409040201.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=19946B0680A511EB84F5792625ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
