The purpose of this volume is to provide an analytical portrait of the Saudi global daʿwa (religious propagation or “call”) apparatus, explaining its history, structure, evolution, and role within the kingdom’s broader portfolio of external relations. Additionally, the various case studies offered in the following pages seek to contextualize and assess the effects of Saudi religious transnationalism in various and varying national contexts. Drawing on extensive fieldwork undertaken by an international team of scholars across multiple world regions, this study explores the complex— sometimes counterintuitive and contradictory—interplay between religious influences emanating from Saudi Arabia and local religious actors and religious cultures in receiving countries. It offers assessments of how transnational Wahhabism has affected various settings around the world and provides analytic insights which help to explain how and why these effects differ from context to context. In addition to presenting cross- cutting research findings with respect to the broad field of Saudi religious transnationalism, this study also engages with the debate on the kingdom’s export of Wahhabism as an object of analysis in its own right and looks at some of the methodological and epistemological challenges associated with gathering data, navigating indeterminate terminology, and identifying clear mechanisms of causality linking Saudi religious influences to specific social, political, and security outcomes.
