US-Saudi Forum (Apr 27) – Relations in a World Without Equilibrium
On April 29, 2009 a major forum addressing the state of and prospects for the relationship between the United States and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was convened in Washington by the New America Foundation (NAF) and the Committee for International Trade (CIT) of the Saudi Chambers of Commerce and Industry. Distinguished speakers spent the day providing perspectives and insights on what the relationship should look like, how economics was shaping the national security picture vis a vis the relationship, the challenges for America in the region and what the perspective on these challenges look like from the Saudi Arabian point of view.
This SUSRIS Special Section provides articles and transcripts about and from the CIT/NAF forum, “U.S.-Saudi Relations in a World Without Equilibrium.”

ABOUT THE COMMITTEE FOR INTERNATIONAL TRADE (CIT)
The Committee for International Trade (CIT) – Founded in 1983, The Committee for International Trade (CIT) within the Council of Saudi Chambers of Commerce is comprised of leading Saudi businessmen and businesswomen working to expand and improve Saudi Arabia’s external trade relationships.
A private-sector initiative, CIT recognizes that Saudi Arabia’s global economic, financial and commercial partnerships are also influenced by social and political considerations; that the ample and accurate flow of information combined with ongoing and candid dialogue are intrinsic to building durable trade and investment ties with the United States as well as other nations.
In support of strong and sustained trade relations, CIT seeks to:
- Engage with key institutions of civil society;
- Create an environment for productive and positive dialogue on political, economic and cultural matters critical to Saudi Arabia;
- Promote Saudi Arabia’s economic growth and diversification both domestically and abroad;
- Affirm Saudi Arabia’s commitment to being a responsible and constructive member of the global community.
In keeping with its mission, CIT often partners with other public and private institutions in the United States and elsewhere.

ABOUT THE NEW AMERICA FOUNDATION
The New America Foundation is a nonprofit, nonpartisan public policy institute that invests in new thinkers and new ideas to address the next generation of challenges facing the United States.
New America emphasizes work that is responsive to the changing conditions and problems of our 21st Century information-age economy — an era shaped by transforming innovation and wealth creation, but also by shortened job tenures, longer life spans, mobile capital, financial imbalances and rising inequality.
The foundation’s mission is animated by the American ideal that each generation will live better than the last. That ideal is today under strain. Our education and health care systems are struggling with problems of quality, cost and access. The country requires creative means to address its fiscal challenges and pay for needed public, social and environmental investments. Abroad, the United States has yet to fashion sustainable foreign and defense policies that will protect its citizens and interests in a rapidly integrating world.
Too often, these challenges have proven impervious to conventional party politics and incremental proposals. With an emphasis on big ideas, impartial analysis and pragmatic solutions, New America invests in outstanding individuals whose ability to communicate to wide and influential audiences can change the country’s policy discourse in critical areas, bringing promising new ideas and debates to the fore.
Launched in 1999, the foundation was guided through a period of rapid growth by founding president Ted Halstead. The institute is now led by President Steve Coll and an outstanding Board of Directors, chaired by Eric Schmidt. New America is headquartered in Washington D.C. and also has a significant presence in California, the nation’s largest laboratory of democracy.
