The politics of Saudi Arabia takes place in the context of a unitary absolute monarchy,along traditional Islamist lines,where the King is both the head of state and government. Decisions are,to a large extent,made on the basis of consultation among the King,the Council of Ministers,Islamic scholars,tribal leaders,and other traditional elites of the society. Saudi government is authoritarian,although some analysts have characterized the government of Mohammed bin Salman as totalitarian. The Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia,Mohammed bin Salman,is the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia. Under his rule,he has centralized policymaking,purged competing political elites,and dismantled pre-existing power-sharing dynamics.
