The United Arab Emirates: Power, Politics, and Policy-Making will offer a full and frank assessment of the UAE in historical perspective, political and security orientation, and economic globalization. This book will strike a balance between narrative and analysis in order to critically analyse both the factors that have propelled the UAE to regional and international prominence, as well as the seamier underside of that growth, and will be an essential resource for students and policy-makers with an interest in the politics of the Persian Gulf.
