The proposed U.S - Saudi Civil Nuclear Deal reflects the growing strategic importance of nuclear diplomacy in contemporary international relations. Examine its geopolitical significance and discuss its implications for regional stability and the global nuclear non-proliferation regime.
Tips for your answer
- Go beyond energy cooperation. Show that the agreement is equally about geopolitics, great power competition, regional security and strategic influence.
- Remember value addition like the 123 Agreement, Saudi Vision 2030, IAEA safeguards, NPT, Abraham Accords, and the U.S.–China–Russia strategic competition in West Asia.
- Avoid presenting the deal as either purely beneficial or purely risky. Balance its energy and strategic advantages with concerns relating to uranium enrichment, regional arms race and the credibility of the global non-proliferation regime.
