Abstract

Until a decade ago, the name of Saudi Arabia for the international community was synonymous with the use of domestic hard power such as executions, the murder of Khashoggi and such things, but for some time now, this country has been able to change its attitude in domestic and foreign policy with a tool such as the development of foreign policy. Football reforms and diplomacy should try to improve the image of Saudi Arabia in the minds of the world. Therefore, in recent years, this country has been developing ideas and taking practical measures in line with projects such as Neom, which is more based on the expansionism of the country's foreign policy than it is in line with the internal development of Saudi Arabia. Now, by mentioning this introduction, the main question of this research can be explained by what goals and tools are the development projects of Saudi Arabia in the domestic and foreign arenas? brought up The research method of this article is qualitative and with a descriptive and analytical approach, which can also be used to collect information from articles, books and websites. Since this research is exploratory, we refrain from giving hypothesis. By analyzing the information gathered in this regard, it can be concluded that Saudi Arabia's projects are planned based on unrealities, but it has tried to take steps in this field based on the facts. It seems that this country, despite having abundant energy reserves as well as rich financial resources, will suffer an increasing crisis of identity in the near future in order to raise the level of expectations of the Saudi society
