  Syrian-Saudi relations have been a paradox in inter-Arab politics during the oil era. This work explores the logic behind the paradoxical longevity of this cooperative relationship and argues that what ultimately makes Saudis and Syrians so indispensable to each other is the historical appeal of 'shared identities', be they Arabism or Islam.
