The Wahhabi tribe : an analysis authority in the unification of the arabian peninsula, 1902-1932
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The declaration of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932 marked the end of a fbirty-year process to unify the peninsula.Under the authority of Ibn Saud, the conquest movement which began in 1902 came to control most of current Saudi Arabia by 1932.Throughout this period, Ibn Saud used the legitimacy he gained from the historical association of his family with the Wahhabi movement to help solidify his political authority.However, in order to properly understand how this occurred, Ibn Saud's conquest movement and the effects of the Wahhabi ideology more generally need to be contextualized in terms of tribal political norms and practices.Thus, rather than providing a historical narrative for the period under review, the focus here will be on the construction of Ibn Saud's political authority, using two conceptual tools.First, what role was played by his leadership over, and embodiment of, the Wahhabi movement in the creation of his political authority, and second, how did the tribal political context facilitate such a process.Library, in particular Salwa Ferahian, whose willingness to track down any books I requested was greatly appreciated.I thank you.To the staff and faculty of the Institute of Islamic Studies thanks goes to all those who helped me in one or another over the last two years.Specific mention should be made of Ann Yaxley and Dawn Richard whose patience in dealing with my questions made this task so much more pleasant to complete.Finally, I would like to thank my advisor, Professor Uner Turgay, who has guided me throughout my studies, for encouraging me when I needed encouragement and challenging me when I needed challenging.You always found

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
