An "incident" of potentially great international importance occurred involving the Saudi Arabian consulate in Turkey this past week.

• First, identify what is alleged to have occurred, who it involved, and why.
• Second, describe the response from the Saudis, taking care to trace any changes and development of their story.
• Thirdly, why does this alleged incident hold deep implications for the way modern states identify themselves and the ways they conduct business?
• Lastly, what has been the White House's response to the alleged incident? How has President Trump specifically framed the issue in his response, and what implications are there for the two IR theories - realism and liberalism - that we have outlined in the course?
