Axes of connection and intersectionality in the Saudi-Kuwaiti relations in the Era of Al Sabah and Al Saʿud

Abstract EN

Research studies on the interdependence of nations highlight the presence of axes or factors that unify nations and lead to cooperation and agreement.

Examples of the factors include historical and economic powers, internal and external threats, psychological features, shared interests, and political systems.

In terms of the Saudi-Kuwait relations, several unifying links vary in type and effect (direct and indirect) and espouse strategic and geopolitical dimensions that relate to the regional security systems and futures of both nations.

To proceed with the discussion, this article will examine the direct factors that intersect to consolidate the Saudi-Kuwaiti relations, such as language, religion, origins, history, demographic composition, and geographical location.

It also aims to underline the influential role of those factors in accelerating the process of development that has brought prosperity to both countries.

This presents a good example to be followed by other countries to build international peace and cooperation and emphasises the importance of preserving those links for the welfare of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
