		King Abdullah’s leadership between 1999 and 2004 fits Bronson’s first scenario: “A successful consolidation of power.” Bronson describes this first scenario as one in which the leader garners the necessary support from his constituency and those who govern around him to sustain his legitimacy.
		This chapter analyzes the King’s leadership from five angles: an overview of his government, a summary of the King’s background, an analysis of domestic politics focused on his cabinets, an analysis of foreign policy focused on major developments under his administration, and concluding observations.
		The domestic analysis will focus on each of the four cabinets that have existed under the King’s leadership, all of which are characteristic of his style and may reflect the evolution in his thinking or approach to governing in the first five years of his presidency.
