Toward New Corporate Governance Standards in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: Lessons from Delaware

Book Description
There is currently a debate in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is over how directors of publicly held companies can be held accountable. Before addressing this question, we should determine when it is that a director violates her or his duties. This study seeks to bring focus to the accountability system in Saudi Arabia. It investigates a legal defect in that system: the Saudi Companies Law incorporates standards of conduct but lacks standards of review. This study argues that although directors’ duties have been formulated so that there are areas left to be developed by courts, Saudi judges do not retain residual lawmaking powers which they could use to fill a regulatory vacuum. It builds upon empirical evidence to prove the underlying reasons that the context has changed, which ultimately has created the need to reform the Saudi fiduciary duties system. New cases in Saudi Arabia evoke some of the contours of Delaware corporate law. New cases have triggered standards of conduct violations that might be identical to fiduciary violations in Delaware. Therefore, this study proposes to transplant Delaware standards of review to Saudi Arabia. It argues that the contextual change in Saudi Arabia after the establishment of the Capital Market Authority would make this transplant more significant. Closer analysis suggests that both systems are consensus on the shareholder primacy model. This convergence on the shareholder model inevitably ensures a functional convergence in the long run.
Saudi Arabia in the Anglo-American Press
Author: Abdullah F. AlrebhPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000910598
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
This book provides an in-depth analysis of authority structures in Saudi Arabia during the twentieth century, as presented in two leading Western newspapers, The London Times and The New York Times. Beginning with a history of Saudi Arabia – from the building of the Kingdom in 1901, when Ibn Saud left his exile in Kuwait to recover Riyadh back from Al-Rasheed’s rule, until the death of King Fahd in 2005 – the author then outlines the theoretical framework of the book, specifically Weber’s original conception of authority. Weber’s notion of authority as having three types – traditional, charismatic, and rational-legal – is applied to an analysis of the two newspapers over the course of the twentieth century. A timeline is devised to aid this analysis, based on significant turning points in Saudi history, including Ibn Saud’s declaration of the Kingdom in 1932 and King Faisal’s assassination in 1975. Ultimately, this analysis discloses the many ways in which conceptions of authority in the Middle East were presented to Western audiences, whilst illuminating the political agendas inherent to this coverage in the UK and the US. This book is vital reading for anyone interested in Saudi Arabian history, Western perspectives of the Middle East, and the sociology of media.

Prior to the COVID-19 shock, the key challenge facing policymakers in the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia region was how to generate strong, sustainable, job-rich, inclusive growth. Post-COVID-19, this challenge has only grown given the additional reduction in fiscal space due to the crisis and the increased need to support the recovery. The sizable state-owned enterprise (SOE) footprint in the region, together with its cost to the government, call for revisiting the SOE sector to help open fiscal space and look for growth opportunities.
