Baker III Institute for Public PolicySaudi Arabia’s massive hydrocarbon endowment and ownership of Islamic holy sites have spawned a political economy unique in the world. The monarchical state that oversees these sites and resources has developed sophisticated structures of energy governance, including an ability to combine long-term planning with short-term market maneuvering. This paper explores established policy levers and practices, while assessing Saudi Arabia’s emerging strategy for future participation in the oil business. Over the long term, the monarchy’s survival hinges on its ability to find new niches in a business that has sustained it for nearly a century.Item Unknown Energy Subsidy Reform in the Persian Gulf: The End of the Big Oil Giveaway(James A.

Baker III Institute for Public PolicyItem Unknown The Bottom of the Barrel: Saudi Aramco and Global Climate Action(James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy) Krane, Jim; James A. Baker III Institute for Public PolicyFor Saudi Arabia’s absolute monarchy, climate action represents a combined threat and opportunity in retaining the oil rents that underpin domestic political institutions and the kingdom’s international influence. Saudi Aramco, the largest source of greenhouse gas-emitting fossil fuel among all firms worldwide, is exposed to numerous risks around continued use of fossil fuels. However, Aramco is also the producer with the world’s lowest cost basis and lowest intensity of greenhouse gas emissions per barrel produced. These attributes suggest that oil from the kingdom should retain a prominent role in oil markets, particularly under climate constraints. While Saudi Aramco’s April 2019 bond prospectus outlines steps the company is taking to ensure that it continues marketing oil far into the future, this paper argues that Aramco’s quest to remain the “last man standing” in global oil depends not just on its substantial cost advantages. Declining social acceptance of fossil fuel combustion suggests that Aramco’s pursuit of carbon competitiveness will assume growing importance.Item Unknown The Geopolitics of FDI: Can Weak States Deter Hegemons Using Foreign Investment?(James A.
