The OPEC countries' collective policy is to offer external development assistance free from political or commercial ties, with the purpose of expressing the solidarity of one group of developing countries with the rest. Since 1976, this policy has found vigorous practical expression in the operations and activities of the OPEC fund. First published in 1983, this book describes the Fund's organisational evolution into a fully-fledged international body, detailing the fund's achievements in providing loans and grants to over 80 countries with operations based on principles that have influenced the whole development movement. Concrete examples are outlined, such as where the fund has acted as a catalyst for development, or a spokesman for a group of countries in international negotiations

This study aims at highlighting the role of Hijaz Liberals Party in the end of the first one-third of the 20th century after the regime of the Hashemite in Hijaz in 1925, and the taking over of Al-Saud. This party came into existence as a reaction to the prevailing conditions during that period in Hijaz. Its members were active in east Jordan, Egypt, Palestine, Aseer, Yemen, Eretria, India, Iraq and Hijaz. Despite the political and financial support it receives from different parties, the British authorities' chase to its members and the Saudis' persistence to put an end to the party whose aims contradict with theirs. All led to weaken it after 1933, and it disappeared. This party was the last obstacle which Al-Saud encountered after taking over Hijaz.
