Development and implementation of the Echo model in a school setting to address youth electronic cigarette use in Kansas
Introduction: Schools remain at the frontlines of addressing issues, such as e-cigarette use, that impact students. Despite e-cigarette use remaining a significant public health concern in the U.S., schools have limited resources (e.g., staff, capacity, programming) to address it, especially in rural and frontier areas. This ECHO Pilot Project aimed to build capacity and equip schools and school staff in the state of Kansas to address high rates …
Governance and Domestic Policymaking in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Vision 2030 and the National Transformation Plan 2020 are governmental initiatives to diversify Saudi Arabia’s economy and implement nationwide social changes. Media and scholarly attention often describe the success or failure of these ambitions visions. This book shifts the focus to instead examine and evaluate the actual processes of domestic policymaking and governance that are being mapped out to achieve them. The book is unique in its…

The Impact of Vision 2030 on Saudi Youth Mindsets
In April 2016, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman unveiled Saudi Vision 2030, and the accompanying National Transformation Programme. To mark the fifth anniversary of the launch of Saudi Vision 2030, the Kingdom's economic and diversification blueprint, Crown Prince Mohammed appeared on a popular Saudi talk show to discuss the progress of the Vision's National Transformation Programs and address the concerns of average citizens in relation to natio…
The Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic on the Socioeconomic Future of Young Saudis
The 2020 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has wreaked havoc with national economies globally. In Saudi Arabia, the combination of the pandemic's ramifications coupled with low oil prices had an immediate negative impact on the Saudi economy as well as jeopardising the future plans of many young nationals. Yet, in a country with approximately 60% of the population under 30 years of age, many of whom are increasingly well-educated, constructive yout…
Inherent contradictions in the Saudi rentier state
This paper endeavours to answer several key questions: Firstly, why do many young Saudis have a continued preference for public sector employment over private sector jobs despite the government’s promotion of the private sector as a key pillar of Saudi Vision 2030? Secondly, what are the reasons behind a widespread perception among Saudi undergraduates that the current education system, spanning elementary to high school, does not prepare school …
Being Young, Male and Saudi
Although the position of Saudi women within society draws media attention throughout the world, young Saudi men remain part of a silent mass, their thoughts and views rarely heard outside of the Kingdom. Based on primary research across Saudi Arabia with young men from a diverse range of backgrounds, Mark C. Thompson allows for this distinct group of voices to be heard, revealing their opinions and attitudes towards the societal and economic tran…

The Impact of Globalization on Saudi Male Millennials' Identity Narratives
The term globalization, encompassing politico-economic and socio-cultural aspects, is widely used to describe the results of rapid modernization on Saudi Arabia in an era of rapid societal transformation. Whilst the outward signs of increased globalization in the Kingdom are highly visible, the underlying effects particularly in terms of the politico-economic and socio-cultural less so. Indeed, globalization is often characterized as inevitable o…

Policy Making in the GCC
The GCC is a major player in the post-2011 reordering of the Middle East. Despite the rise in prominence of individual Gulf states - especially Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates - and the growth of the GCC as a collective entity, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the actual mechanics of policy-making in the region. This book analyses the vital role that institutions are coming to play in shaping policy in the G…
Societal transformation, public opinion and Saudi youth
Saudi socio-politics is being affected by societal transformation; one that is being driven by a potent combination of demographics, improved education, wider access to the Internet and burgeoning new media usage. Whilst Saudi government decision-making remains ‘top-down’, the dynamic within this approach has shifted as the top-down system incorporates a consultation process that includes newly established civil society institutions. Nonetheless,…
Saudi Vision 2030
Since Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud unveiled Saudi Vision 2030 (The National Transformation Programme, 25 April 2016) a great deal of analysis has focused on the potential impact of Vision 2030 at the national level. Significantly, Saudi Vision 2030, which promises a better future and better governance, is raising hopes and expectations amongst young well-educated Saudis. Nevertheless, how has Saudi Vision 2030 been interpreted …

Saudi Women Leaders
The January 2013 appointment of thirty Saudi women leaders to the Majlis al-Shura (Consultative Council) underlined the commitment of the late King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz to greater engagement by Saudi women in the national decision-making process. Institutions including the Council of Saudi Chambers of Commerce and Industry and the King Abdulaziz Center for National Dialogue now offer platforms for women to enter official deliberations, both nat…
Saudi Arabia and the Path to Political Change
State-society dialogue in Saudi Arabia is one of the most contested issues in the country today, yet little is known about the National Dialogue process, and its relationship with Saudi society is frequently and widely misunderstood. The first to examine the Saudi Arabian National Dialogue process in its entirety, Mark C. Thompson investigates the relationship between the King Abdulaziz Center for National Dialogue (KACND) and the key social cons…
Voodoo Fascism
Ama Bontemps wrote two novels about slave revolts: Black Thunder (1936) and Drums at Dusk (1939). Virtually unknown in comparison with Bontemps's 1936 retelling of Gabriel Prosser's 1800 slave revolt in Virginia in Black Thunder, Drums at Dusk chronicles the violent opening salvos of the Haitian War of Independence from the perspective of the island's French colonists. Taking a decidedly melodramatic look at bourgeois colonial decadence, Bontemps…
