Arab/Middle Eastern relations with the Caribbean date back to the 19th century, and through the discovery of oilfields and economic development, many Middle Eastern countries have become wealthy and powerful actors on the international scene; links with the Caribbean have grown slowly but steadily. This course offers a comprehensive overview of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by explaining its political, economic, cultural and legal features, to provide the knowledge needed for persons to effectively engage the KSA and pursue opportunities therein.
