PhD Topic/ Title: Analysing the possible democratisation of Saudi Arabia
To look at how despite claims of ‘Arab Exceptionalism’, there is signs of liberalisation and democratisation occurring within the supposedly stable monarchy of Saudi Arabia. Maddison is hoping to analyse previous research which has been conducted in democratisation studies and how these theories may or may not work when analysing the current situation in Saudi Arabia.
