Saudi Arabias New Development Path from the Perspective of Global Swing Country in the Context of Multi-polarization

Abstract

After the end of the Cold War, the world pattern gradually changed from the bipolar pattern of the United States and the Soviet Union to multi-polarization. In this context, the United States, Russia, China, the European Union, the League of Arab States, and other poles have a greater influence on the change of the world situation, and the Russia-Ukraine war, the relations between the United States and China, the oil crisis, and other factors are constructing international relations. The American think tank defines some countries with an international voice but different preferences for cooperation as global swing countries and expands the original four countries (India, Indonesia, Brazil, Turkey) to six countries (adding Saudi Arabia and South Africa). These are also countries that the Western world, led by the United States, is trying to win over. This paper focuses on the development of Saudi Arabia after the implementation of the new policy in the context of multi-polarity and the reasons for the United States to regain the concept of global swing state. The main research method is literature analysis, and the data and reports obtained from the official website are combined on the basis of scholars research. It can be seen that the new policies represented by the 2030 vision introduced by Saudi Arabia since Salman came to power meet the development needs of Saudi Arabia and have achieved certain results. After a period of flat relations between the United States and Saudi Arabia, the United States has attached great importance to it. The reason is that national interests determine international relations.
