Realizing Saudi Vision 2030 -

. .

Résumé :
All too often, Saudi Vision 2030 is associated outside the Kingdom solely with mega-projects such as 'Neom' and 'The Line'.But how the Vision is being realized through 'real life' situations and issues is frequently overlooked. This book is a behind-the-scenes investigation into the current transformations taking place in Saudi Arabia. It comprises contributions from academics, researchers, policymakers and practitioners who have access to the decision-makers and relevant institutions in the country. Based on these authors' extensive experiences and this unique access, chapters focus on the remodelling of government entities, the creation of institutions, and the new opportunities made available for Saudis through human capital development initiatives, all key issues that are central to the Vision. In assessing the transformations taking place in Saudi Arabia, this book is a much-needed evaluation into how Vision 2030 is being successfully implemented and what factors challenge development.
