Abstract
I analyze the ability of Saudi-Arabia to adjust to present low oil prices. I analyze the political foundations of the Saudi state and its weak autonomy in relation to its power bases: the avaricious princes and the fundamentalist religious Sheikhs. I am pessimistic as to the likelyhood of Saudi-Arabia making the needed ajdustments due to current low oil prices. This is the second of two articles on Saudi-Arabia.
