Abstract

This article examines the strategic institutionalization of transnational religious mobility as a vital catalyst for bilateral economic diplomacy between rentier states, specifically focusing on Azerbaijan and Saudi Arabia. Facing severe structural vulnerabilities stemming from historical hydrocarbon dependency, both sovereign nations urgently mandate comprehensive macroeconomic diversification. Utilizing Matland’s Ambiguity-Conflict framework, this qualitative study rigorously analyzes how Azerbaijan strategically mitigated the unilateral policy disruption caused by Saudi Arabia’s centralized digital portal, Nusuk. By systematically integrating domestic administrative platforms with Saudi infrastructure and simultaneously instituting reciprocal visa relaxations, Azerbaijan successfully transitioned towards seamless administrative implementation. This distinct bureaucratic agility effectively triggered a robust "Transnational Multiplier Effect," directly leveraging highly inelastic religious tourism flows to secure valuable foreign direct investment for domestic green infrastructure. Ultimately, the research demonstrates that orchestrating multi-layered diplomacy fundamentally transforms routine logistical crowd management into an outward-looking statecraft instrument, providing a highly resilient policy framework for modern post-oil transitional economies.
