 Saudi Arabia, a country notoriously known for its conservative beliefs, laws, and customs, may be changing its ways. All because of one man. On the 21st of June 2017, Mohammed bin Salman was appointed as the new Prince of Saudi Arabia. He serves underneath his father, King Salman. Prior to his appointment, Mohammed announced a transformative plan for Saudi Arabia, Vision 2030. It aims to change political, societal, and economic sectors in order to move away from oil dependence and propel Saudi Arabia towards globalization. Since Vision 2030, dramatic reforms have been made in that country, especially with regards to women. In September, a royal decree spearheaded by the Crown Prince was issued. It allowed women to drive on their own, without the presence of a male. Saudi Arabia had previously been the only country in the world that banned women from driving. In October, the Crown Prince announced his plans for Niyam, a $500 billion futuristic mega city. Saudi officials announced that starting in early 2018, women will be allowed into select arenas in major cities. This announcement came just one month after women were allowed into sports arenas for the first time ever in Riyadh, and a month after women were allowed to drive in 2018. It appears that major changes in all sectors of Saudi Arabia are occurring due to the influence of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. What implications for other countries and the world will follow?
