Abstract
Esta tesis tiene como objeto de estudio la política exterior de Arabia Saudí en Oriente Medio tras la primavera árabe y sus objetivos y estrategias regionales entre 2011-2016.

This thesis’ subject of study is the foreign policy of Saudi Arabia in the Middle East after the Arab Spring and its objectives and regional strategies during the period comprising 2011to 2016. The mobilizations and popular uprisings that took place in 2011 and the subsequent conflicts represent a turning point in the political order of the Middle East.
