This article draws on the ‘double indeterminacy of labour power’, a key conceptual development in labour process theory, to examine mobility power in Saudi Arabia. State control over the mobility of migrant workers is crucial to the labour process and the wider political-economy of Saudi Arabia. However, little is known about mobility–effort bargaining and the specific forms of mobility power in the Saudi context. This article argues that not only is mobility–effort bargaining at the core of capital–labour relations in Saudi Arabia, but that mobility and effort are variably controlled by different sponsors/agents of control. Importantly, the control exercised by the state, capital and other sponsors over migrants’ mobility is not absolute. Developing mobility power further, the article details the multiplicity of mobilities and labour contracts to delineate a ‘sponsored labour regime’, and highlights the underexplored role of the state, and other agents of control, in conceptualising mobility–effort bargaining.

沙特资本主义中的流动性权力、国家和“赞助劳工制度”

本文利用劳动过程理论中的一个关键概念发展“劳动力的双重不确定性”来检验沙特阿拉伯的流动性。国家对移民工人流动性的控制对沙特阿拉伯的劳动过程和更广泛的政治经济至关重要。然而,在沙特背景下,人们对流动性-努力谈判和流动性权力的具体形式知之甚少。本文认为,不仅流动性-努力谈判是沙特阿拉伯资本-劳资关系的核心,而且流动性和努力受不同的发起人/控制代理人可变地控制。重要的是,国家、资本和其他赞助者对移民流动性的控制并不是绝对的。进一步发展机动能力,
