Принципиально, что таких успехов Королевство смогло добиться за очень короткий срок. До недавнего времени развитие науки в Саудовской Аравии было в значительной степени ориентировано на прикладные исследования в основной для экономики Королевства области – в энергетике. Несмотря на большие финансовые возможности страны, научные исследования испытывали нехватку государственного планирования и финансирования: первая комплексная стратегия научно-технического развития появилась лишь в начале 2000-х гг. Между тем, за последние 15 лет Королевство сделало огромный рывок в сфере научного развития, разработав четкий план действий, сформировав прочную и структурированную институциональную базу и эффективно используя мировой опыт. Такие успехи были обусловлены пришедшим саудовскому руководству осознанием важности научно-технического прогресса не только для национальной экономики, но и для политического положения страны в регионе и мире. Целью данной статьи является анализ научной политики Саудовской Аравии на этапах ее зарождения и сегодняшнего состояния развития посредством изучения официальных государственных документов, статистики и существующей структуры научных учреждений Королевства. Автор приходит к выводу о том, что ключевыми характеристиками саудовской научной политики сегодня являются доминирующая роль государства, приоритет прикладных исследований над фундаментальными и интернациональность при заметной зависимости от международного сотрудничества в условиях отсутствия собственной национальной научной традиции.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>In less than a century of its existence Saudi Arabia has developed from mass illiteracy and lack of education of its population into the current state of complex structure of educational and research institutions and organizations equipped with most modern and advanced technologies and top world specialists in accordance with the highest international standards. It is especially important that the Kingdom has managed to achieve such success in no time. Until lately scientifi c development in Saudi Arabia was mostly concentrated on applied research, especially in the Kingdom’s key economic sphere – energy. Despite the country’s abundant financial resources, science was considerably underfunded and lacked any development strategy. Meanwhile, in the last 15 years the Saudi Kingdom has made a huge leap in scientifi c development with a clear action plan worked out, a solid structure of scientifi c institutes formed and the world experience effi ciently used. The success came with the Saudi authorities’ realization of the importance of scientifi c and technical progress both for the national economy and political positions of the state in the region and in the world. The article aims to analyze the scientifi c policy of Saudi Arabia on the stage of its birth and in the current state by means of studying offi cial documents, statistics and the existing institutes in the scientifi c system of the Kingdom. The author concludes that the key features of the Saudi scientifi c policy are prevailing role of the state, priority of applied over fundamental research and internalization with serious dependency on foreign support in the absence of a national scientifi c tradition.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>научная политика</kwd><kwd>Саудовская Аравия</kwd><kwd>международное научное сотрудничество</kwd><kwd>научно-исследовательские институты</kwd><kwd>научно-техническое развитие</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>scientifi c policy</kwd><kwd>Saudi Arabia</kwd><kwd>international scientifi c cooperation</kwd><kwd>scientifi c and research institutes</kwd><kwd>scientifi c and technical development</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Abate, Tom.
