Abstract
The paper intends to explain the Saudi alignment choices, either with US, or China, by utilising the literature on the alliance management. The paper assumes that the multipolar moment provided Saudi Arabia with the ability to choose, whether to align itself with US through a defence pact, or to continue the current strategic partnership with China. The paper shall differentiate between alliance and strategic partnership, and then utilise the theoretical framework presented by Goh and Sahshi to analyse alliance management. In addition, Saudi relations with both US and China is going to be assessed critically, referring to the most recent issues impacting the bilateral arrangements. Finally, the paper will attempt to pinpoint the factors that might push Riyadh to align with either of these two countries.
