Crisi s management and the global network were the two fundamental methods that Qatar has used to avoid and mitigate the negative impact of sanctions imposed by the so-called Anti-Terror Quartet states (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bah-rain and Egypt).

The aim of the paper is to analyze the political trajectory of changes in Saudi Arabia during the reign of Prince Muhammad Ibn Salman and the effects it has on the traditional and conservative values of the Saudi kingdom. The point of reference for the prince's reform policy is the Vision 2030 project of changes announced in 2016, which aims to maintain a balance between modernization, including economic reforms, privatization and cultural initiatives, on the one hand, and Islam and political authoritarianism on the other.
Is the combining of political and social changes, often of a pro-democratic nature, and the separation of religion and state possible in the lair of Wahhabism? The Vision 2030 program is ultimately intended to strengthen the state economically and culturally - but will it be possible to do so while maintaining a strong (authoritarian) authority and religious traditionalism?
