Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les pays du Golfe, appelé Persique dans la terminologie européenne et revendiqué comme Arabe par sept pays riverains de l'autre rive (Irak, Koweït, Arabie Saoudite, Qatar, Bahreïn, Emirats arabes unis, sultanat d'Oman) face à l'Iran, détiennent plus de la moitié des réserves de brut de la planète et leurs réserves en gaz sont immenses. Ils se trouvent donc au coeur des enjeux énergétiques et stratégiques mondiaux, mais leur poids s'explique aussi désormais par des politiques de développement visant à passer d'économies de rente à des économies productives. Le pétrole et les stratégies post-pétrolières ont induit des mutations rapides dont l'afflux d'une main-d'oeuvre étrangère, originaire du monde arabe et plus encore d'Asie, et une croissance urbaine spectaculaire, essentiellement littorale. Palliant la rareté des travaux sur cette région, le présent atlas contient plus de 150 cartes et graphiques originaux élaborés à partir de données récentes et d'enquêtes des auteurs, spécialistes de cette partie du monde. Il synthétise, d'une part, les grandes caractéristiques des pays du Golfe ; d'autre part, il analyse les spécificités de chaque Etat, de chaque province, de chaque ville. Des textes concis complètent les documents, rappelant les héritages du passé, permettant d'appréhender les changements en cours et envisageant les perspectives d'avenir. L'ouvrage montre en quoi ces espaces entre mer et désert sont à la fois des interfaces d'échanges et des zones de tensions. L'objectif est de présenter, dans leur complexité, leur puissance et leur fragilité, ces territoires en construction, lieux de passage essentiels entre l'Europe et l'Asie.

Download or read book Atlas of the Gulf States written by Philippe Cadène and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arab Gulf States possess more than half of the planet’s crude oil reserves, and their gas reserves are immense. The transition from being rental economies to producing economies has caused rapid and significant changes, including the influx of foreign (Arab and Asian) manual laborers, and spectacular urban development, particularly along the coast. This Atlas of the Gulf States contains more than 150 maps and graphs based on recent data. It offers a survey of the history and economic and urban development of the Gulf region. For Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Iran, this atlas offers detailed maps, plans and statistics for the relevant provinces as well as the most important cities. This Atlas is an updated translation from the French edition (2011), with a more extensive bibliography and an index.

Download or read book Regionalization of the World written by Pierre Beckouche and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the world map, macro-regions or global regions have gradually emerged, with varying degrees of success and following different trajectories. The authors of this book attempt to determine whether, within the context of globalization, these macro-regions have become an additional level in the spatial deployment of numerous actors, and whether they have come to stand between the national and global levels. This question has arisen because the increasing scales of trade, environmental problems, migration routes, energy distribution, the construction of major infrastructures etc. transcend national boundaries and are leading states to implement macro-regional cooperation. The authors ask whether these large regional groupings are becoming genuine territories and are the fruit of in-depth regional integration – economic, institutional, legal, normative, political, cultural and in terms of identity. If so, these global regions would therefore become referents that make sense and take root in social representations.
Download or read book Oases and Globalization written by Emilie Lavie and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-25 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a reference work about the study of oases in the context of globalization. It is based on selected papers presented at the international colloquium entitled Oases in the Globalization, Ruptures and Continuities in Paris (December 16-17th, 2013). The main issue was to understand how oases have been excluded from or included into the process of globalization. In this context, the present book proposes firstly a discussion about the definition(s) of oasis and secondly several case studies analysing socio-spatial mutations in the oasis structure. The third part deals with the compelling globalization at different spatial scales, using two entries: the water management and local impacts of external control.

Download or read book Under Construction Logics of Urbanism in the Gulf Region written by Steffen Wippel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interdisciplinary in approach, this volume explores and deciphers the symbolic value and iconicity of the built environment in the Arab Gulf Region, its aesthetics, language and performative characteristics. Bringing together a range of studies by artists, curators and scholars, it demonstrates how Dubai appeared - at least until the financial crisis - to be leading the construction race and has already completed a large number of its landmark architecture and strategic facilities. In contrast, cities like the Qatari capital Doha still appear to be heavily ’under construction’ and in countries like the Sultanate of Oman, ultra-luxury tourism projects were started only recently. While the construction of artificial islands, theme parks and prestige sport facilities has attracted considerable attention, much less is known about the region’s widespread implementation of innovative infrastructure such as global container ports, free zones, inter-island causeways and metro lines. This volume argues that these endeavours are not simply part of a strategy to prepare for the post-oil era for future economic survival and prosperity in the Lower Gulf region, but that they are also aiming to strengthen identitarian patterns and specific national brands. In doing so, they exhibit similar, yet remarkably diverse modes of engaging with certain global trends and present - questionably - distinct ideas for putting themselves on the global map. Each country aims to grab attention with regard to the world-wide flow of goods and capital and thus provide its own citizens with a socially acceptable trajectory for the future. By doing that, the countries in the Gulf are articulating a new semiotic and paradigm of urban development. For the first time, this volume maps these trends in their relation to architecture and infrastructure, in particular by treating them as semiotics in their own right. It suggests that recent developments in this region of the world not only represen

Download or read book Continental Evolution The Geology of Morocco written by André Michard and published by Springer. This book was released on 2008-09-26 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Morocco is one of the most fascinating lands in the world from the point of view of its geological structure and evolution. Our knowledge on the geology of the country has been greatly improved during the last decades, based on numerous seismic profiles and boreholes, seismological analysis of focal mechanisms, seismic tomography, gravimetric/geodetic modelling and, on the other hand, based on a big National Program of Geological Mapping including modern geochemical analyses (trace elements) and reliable isotopic datings (39Ar-40Ar, U-Pb zircon, Sm-Nd, etc). Moreover, a number of academic studies have been performed in relation with the increasing number of Moroccan universities. Accordingly, there was an utmost urgency to undertake a new treatise of Moroccan geology which could substitute for the classical Eléments de géologie marocaine, published in 1976 by A. Michard in the Notes et Mémoires du Service géologique du Maroc (re-edited twice since 1976, with more than 6000 copies sold, and... translated in Japanese for engineers!). A new treatise has been prepared between April 2006 and July 2007 under the coordination of A. Michard, assisted by O. Saddiqi, and A. Chalouan, by a wide panel of authors from Morocco, France or Belgium among the best connoisseurs of the country. In order to emphasize the general interest of the book, we finally retain the following title: Continental Evolution: The Geology of Morocco. Structure, Stratigraphy, and Tectonics of the Africa-Atlantic-Mediterranean Triple junction. The editing and production of this book was supported by the following organisations: The Geological Society of France (SGF) The National Office of Hydrocarbons and Mines of Morocco (ONHYM) The International Lithosphere Program (ILP)
