International involvement for Saudi Arabia usually consists more of international diplomacy and economic cooperation. It’s conservatism on political issues often causes the country to reject some partnerships, as Saudi Arabia does not want to be subjected to obligations imposed from the outside. However, the Kingdom is considered a reliable partner because of its economic and social stability (Bertelsmann Stiftung, 2012).
