Download or read book Emiratization in the UAE Labor Market written by Georgia Daleure and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-29 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book combines classic and recent studies investigating challenges to Emiratization – full employment of Emirati nationals who make up only about 10% of the total workforce – in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The book offers a comprehensive overview of the events leading to the country’s rapid growth and development, as well as important social and cultural issues arising as the country transitioned from an isolated traditional economy to an open globalized one, and explores the specific challenges of incorporating Emiratis in their own vibrant economy. This topic is of interest to scholars, policymakers, and those considering investing or seeking employment in the UAE since it emerged as a Western-friendly, politically stable, and prospering oil-producing country in a region plagued by political, social, and economic turmoil.
Download or read book The Economic Development of the United Arab Emirates RLE Economy of Middle East written by Ragaei el Mallakh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-30 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1970s the oil producing countries of the Gulf have become a focus of intense interest worldwide. Most of this interest has centred on the oil giants, Saudi Arabia, Iran, even Iraq and Kuwait. Yet the United Arab Emirates is also among the largest producers, on a par with Kuwait, Nigeria and Libya, with reserves greater than the USA. Given its high economic growth rate, the UAE is an excellent laboratory in which to test and evaluate policies and programmes to effect rapid economic development. The international stature of the UAE far exceeds what its physical size, population and breadth of resources would seem to indicate. As a member of OPEC, the UAE has played a vital role within that body’s ‘price moderates’. With one of the world’s highest per capita incomes and with ambitious development efforts under way, the UAE, not surprisingly, has become a major market for capital and consumer goods, involving substantial foreign services, banking, business and industry. Based on more than a decade of study, on-site research and interviews with key figures, this book – which mixes the practical with the academic approach – will prove of great value to Middle Eastern and development specialists, students and to the international business and financial communities. First published in 1981.

Download or read book The UAE and Foreign Policy written by Khalid S. Almezaini and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-01-16 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a concise and detailed analysis of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) foreign aid as a main instrument in its foreign policy. Exploring the cultural factors that have impacted on the foreign policy behaviour of the UAE and its foreign aid, the author argues that Arabism and Islamic traditions have shaped the country’s foreign policy in general and foreign aid in particular. Examining in depth the motives and purposes of this large aid program through the lens of International Relations theories (mainly Constructivism and Rationalism), the book details the UAE’s foreign policy and aid program since its inception. Drawing on a comprehensive analysis of two major recipients of aid from the UAE – Palestine and Pakistan – the focus moves beyond the UAE to show how cultural factors have impacted on the behaviour of the authorities across the wider Arab Middle East. This critical assessment and analysis of the UAE’s foreign policy will be of particular interest to students, researchers and academics interested in Middle East studies, the Gulf States, Middle East politics, and foreign aid and foreign policy.
Download or read book Structural Change in the United Arab Emirates written by Andreas Rostin and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2007-10 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: 1,3, Georgetown University, course: Economics of the Middle East, 19 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Over the past 35 years, the seven emirates comprising the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have experienced unprecedented economic development. The immeasurable inflow of petrodollars since the first oil crisis in 1973 has transformed the UAE from one of the poorest countries in the world into one with a standard of living comparable to the countries of Western Europe and North America. However, with crude oil and natural gas reserves diminishing steadily, income from these two natural resources will not continue to flow indefinitely. It is questionable whether economic growth in the emirates can be sustained when oil extraction and exports decline. Recent efforts to diversify the UAE's economic activity and thereby lessen the country's dependency on oil and natural gas have had a certain degree of success. At the same time, however, the federal government has been unable to broaden its revenue base to include income from non-hydrocarbon activities, a step seen as essential for guaranteeing sustained economic prosperity. This essay will cast an eye on the economic and social transformation that has taken place in the emirates, focusing heavily on the question of sustainability. It will begin by outlining the effects that the oil windfall has had on the UAE's development over the past three decades. Then it will emphasize the importance of economic and fiscal diversification and point to success and failure in attempting this structural transition. It will analyze the inhabitants' apparent reluctance to change and attempt to give reasons for this phenomenon. Finally, it will offer suggestions for achieving a foundation for sustained economic growth in view of continuously decreasing oil reserves.

Download or read book New Military Strategies in the Gulf written by Jean-Loup Samaan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-07-13 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last decade, rulers in Gulf regimes have aspired to greater strategic autonomy and distance from the West. Coined the "Gulf moment" by local commentators, this regional trend reflects a redistribution of power in the Arab world. This is the first book to examine the military dimensions of these shifts. Gulf military strategy has prioritised the improvement of local armed forces and the diversification of defence partnerships towards countries such as Russia, Turkey or China. However, this book shows how this has led to the militarisation of Gulf societies, the further erosion of multilateral initiatives - including the Gulf Cooperation Council - and the Gulf's perilous involvement in the war in Yemen. The book also highlights enduring reliance on the West. Each chapter covers a key aspect of defence policy from governance of armed forces, military education and power projection capabilities to regional security cooperation and lessons from warfighting experiences. Close attention is paid to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, countries that have enjoyed prominent roles in the region's security affairs during the last ten years. The research is based on extensive fieldwork and interviews with major decision-makers, officials, and diplomatic and military representatives. It is also uses recently declassified official documents to gain rare insight into what Gulf countries intend for their defence policies.
Download or read book Geopolitical Turmoil in the Balkans and Eastern Mediterranean written by Hall Gardner and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-07-15 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book will examine the Balkans and Eastern Mediterranean from multidimensional geo-strategic, political-economic, socio-cultural/religious and demographic perspectives. It analyzes the conflicting geopolitical interests of the major and regional powers, as well as those of NATO and the European Union, with a focus on energy, democracy and corruption, shifts in population, as well as religious political influence. The authors argue that the US, NATO and EU leaderships can no longer afford to ignore the two regions — if the increasing potential for conflict is to be averted. The Balkans and Eastern Mediterranean are returning to a major position in the contemporary geostrategic nexus since NATO began a new expansion into the Balkans by bringing Montenegro in 2017 and North Macedonia in March 2020 into membership, after its previous expansion to Slovenia in NATO’s “Big Bang” in 2004 and to both Albania and Croatia in 2009.
Download or read book The Gulf Cooperation Council at Forty written by Tarik M. Yousef and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2023-02-22 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All of the GCC countries—Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates—are undergoing historic socio-economic transitions. They are facing enormous strains on public finances and challenging economic outlooks, due to fluctuating oil prices, demographic pressures, high unemployment rates, and a lack of economic diversification. These countries also are likely to feel the rising impact of climate change, and global policies to deal with it, over the coming decades. In addition, seemingly unstoppable shifts in the long-standing international order, notably the rise of China and uncertainties about U.S. leadership, have potentially serious implications for the Middle East and beyond. This by noted scholars and experts considers the key trends shaping Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries--Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirate-- ranging from the COVID-19 pandemic, to climate change, economic disruptions, demographics and other domestic concerns, and shifts in the global order. The book’s chapters address such questions as: How will global megatrends impact the GCC? How can GCC states adjust and diversify their economies to meet the dual challenges of fluctuating oil prices and climate change? How can these states adjust their labor markets to absorb and support women and youth? How will inter GCC disagreements impact the region moving forward? And how will GCC relations with international actors shift in the coming years? This timely book, with its comprehensive analyses and policy recommendations, will be of interest to a wide range of readers interested in the GCC region, including policymakers, academics, and researchers at think tanks and nongovernmental organizations.
