The Cohesion of Saudi Arabia (RLE Saudi Arabia)
Saudi Arabia is no longer regarded as quite the invincible pillar of Islam it so recently seemed. Its authority within the Islamic world has been challenged by the Ayatollahs in Iran and its dominant position within Opec has been seriously eroded. Most importantly, the dramatic assault on the Mosque at Mecca has raised serious doubts about the internal security of the Saudi regime. This study provides essential background to the contemporary problems of Saudi Arabia in its focus on the early years of the Saudi state and the way in which King Abd al-Aziz first created a nation state and asserted his family's authority. It agues that the geography of Central Arabia was a crucial factor in determining how he fused together the Bedouin tribes and the settled communities into a political entity. First published in 1981 and based on extensive new research data, this is the first study to examine more than simply a political or diplomatic history of Saudi Arabia, and concerns itself with the attitudes and perceptions of the Arabs themselves towards political initiatives of that period.

Dari Membela Tuhan ke Membela Manusia
“Secara akademik, buku yang ditulis oleh Prof. Dr. Aksin Wijaya, seorang akademisi muda dari IAIN Ponorogo, hendak menyodorkan fakta penafsiran agama yang bernuansa kekerasan versus penafsiran agama yang bernuansa perdamaian.” —Prof. Masdar Hilmy, M.A., Ph.D. “Karya Aksin Wijaya ini menyadarkan kita akan niscayanya memandang manusia sebagai manusia yang bermartabat kemuliaan (karâmah al-insân) dan bahwa agamaisasi kekerasan tidak boleh terjadi, dan harus ditolak mentah-mentah, karena bertentangan dengan prinsip Islam sebagai agama salâm (damai) dan rahmat bagi semesta (rahmatan li al-’âlamîn).” —Moch.
