Description: Few states have achieved such rapid and fundamental change in so short a time as Dubai. From palm-frond huts to sumptuous hotels; from remote oases to vast man-made islands, this desert outpost has in just a few years been transformed into a dynamic and cosmopolitan centre of trade, enterprise and--most recently--tourism. This book captures the essence of the Emirate, tracing its history and culture while highlighting the dramatic changes of recent years.

Description: An authoritative and wide-ranging book uncovering the rich heritage of the United Arab Emirates, its political renaissance and its modern transformation into one of the most developed nations in the world. Thirty years after its establishment, the United Arab Emirates has become the longest surviving successful experiment in federation anywhere in the Arab world, and has matured to become a country which not only offers its population a modern lifestyle but also is widely recognized as having a significant role to play within the global community of nations. Parallel with the dramatic economic and social development that has taken place, there has been an explosion in academic research on the country, as scholars both within the UAE and abroad have studied a wide range of aspects of the state. This book brings together a collection of papers by some of those leading scholars and is designed to provide an overview of the UAE at the beginning of the 21st century. Contributors chart the emergence of the landscape of the country, the origins of the people and their tribal structures, the political formation and nature of the federation, the significant role of the UAE in regional and world affairs, the part played by oil and industrialization in the country's remarkable economic development, and the way in which conservation of wildlife and the environment has become a key priority of UAE government policy. Cultural development in terms of poetic expression is also explored.

Description: The upheaval in oil prices in the early 1970s gave rise to major changes in inter-Arab relations. While the oil-producing countries became rich and their citizens enjoyed one of the highest standards of living in the world, the Arab World's cultural and historical leader, Egypt, was enmeshed in an economic morass, barely managing to finance the import of foodstuffs for her population and at the forefront of the Arab confrontation with Israel. The author provides a unique insight into a virtually unseen current that has shaped Middle East war and politics for over 30 years by explaining the intricate and ever shifting relationship between Egypt and the immensely wealthy Arab Gulf newcomers. The book analyses the effects economic aid and cooperation had on the political relation- ship between the two sides, and on President Sadat's peace initiative with Israel. It provides a wealth of new data and original and insightful analysis, and fills an important gap in our understanding of the inner economic workings of the modern Arab world.
