ABSTRACT This contribution focuses on the shifts in the characteristics and forms of intervention by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the Middle East and North Africa post the Arab Uprisings of 2011–2012. Although less commented upon, increasing military intervention by the two states has been accompanied by ‘aid intervention’, whereby financial assistance is utilised to secure foreign policy objectives. While scholarly work on intervention typically focuses on Western intervention and, to a lesser extent, the BRICS, this paper argues that Saudi–UAE intervention is reshaping the MENA region through a multi-pronged approach incorporating military campaigns and an alignment of foreign aid with private capital investment priorities. The direct military intervention in Yemen and aid intervention in Egypt are highlighted as illustrations of overarching trends of Saudi–UAE intervention.

沙特阿拉伯联合酋长国联盟的重要性：关于军事干预，援助和投资的说明

摘要此贡献着重于2011-2012年阿拉伯起义后沙特阿拉伯和阿拉伯联合酋长国（UAE）在中东和北非的干预方式和形式的转变。尽管评论较少，但两国对军事干预的增加伴随着“援助干预”，即通过财政援助来确保外交政策目标。尽管有关干预的学术研究通常侧重于西方干预，而在较小程度上是金砖国家，但本文认为，沙特阿拉伯联合酋长国的干预正在通过多管齐下的方式重塑中东和北非地区，其中包括军事战役以及外国援助与私人援助的统一资本投资优先事项。
