Current Events: Abu Dhabi & Cultural Identity

The objective of this brief study is to examine a current event that has been published on Abu Dhabi. For the purpose of this study chosen is a report by the New York Times entitled "Building Museums, and a Fresh Arab Identity" which relates that architecture is being used in what is termed to be an "audacious experiment" and involving "…two small oil-rich countries in the Middle East [reported to be} using architecture and art to reshape their national identities virtually overnight, and in the process to redeem the tarnished image of Arabs abroad while showing the way toward a modern society within the boundaries of Islam." (New York Times, 2010)

Introduction

eported is that on the Abu Dhabi outskirts workers have began digging the foundations for "three colossal museums" described as follows:

The Abu Dhabi Health Authority (ADHD), however, intends to overcome those obstacles by continuing to train its locals, and by envisioning an influx of professionals with the emergence of top-notch institutions such as John Hopkins and the Cleveland Clinic, which have agreed to set up operations in Abu Dhabi (UAE, 2007).

ADHD seems to have accomplished some of its objectives. According to its Investor Highlights (HAAD Health tatistics, 2009), mandatory insurance coverage introduced by Expatriates and Thiqa for Nationals caused significant increase in 2007 in the population seeking local health care whilst "demand for health services in the Emirate stabilized in 2009" and more hospitals and home cares services (including homes for the aged) obtained licenses (HAAD Health tatistics, 2009).

Dubai
A close competitor to Dubai's tourism industry is that of neighboring Abu Dhabi. The two are the largest and wealthiest cities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). However, they are parts of separate emirates, so they each have their own governments. As a consequence, they are natural competitors. The two actually compete using their own state-supported airlines, Emirates in Dubai and Etihad in Abu Dhabi. These carriers compete in the Europe-Asia market using their respective homes as hubs. This draws traffic via each different airline, and both are critical to the tourism strategies of their respective emirates (ETurboNews, 2011).

hile Dubai's tourism industry is based on luxury -- high end hotels, resorts and shopping -- the tourism industry of Abu Dhabi is different. Abu Dhabi competes vigorously for tourism dollars, but its tourism industry is more diversified than that of Dubai. The city of Abu Dhabi has a similar market to….

Kuwait

Since 2008, the real estate market in Kuwait has been continually declining. The reason why is because the economy was largely depending upon oil revenues. However, in 2010 the sector began witnessing an increase in prices. This is because of the Kuwaiti government was aggressively promoting the tourism industry. As developers are expecting a strong increase in foreign direct investment, due to the governments push to expand the sector. As a result, holiday and residential areas in Kuwait are continuing to boom. (Finkelstein)

In the housing industry, there are large numbers of shortages that are affecting prices. What has been happening is the residential sector has been facing restrictions over the last several years, surrounding building permits. As the government was slow to endorse them, which created a rush on new areas that were approved for development. At the same time, the government has placed various….

The Persian Gulf states including Abu Dhabi, 'Ajman, Al Fujayrah, Ash Shariqah, Dubayy, Umm al Qaywayn, and a's al Qaywan are represented as UAE.

The governments of UAE are focused to increase foreign investment after surviving through the 2008-2009 economic meltdowns. The major….

longstanding territorial disputes between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Iran, regarding three islands in the Persian Gulf. The first dispute is with respect to the island of Abu Musa, which is claimed by Sharjah. The other is with respect to Greater Tunbs and Lesser Tunbs, both of which are claimed by as al-Khaimah. All three are presently viewed by the international community as territory of Iran. The issue dates back to the formation of the UAE. The former colonial power, the United Kingdom, transferred the islands to Iran at this time, in 1971, ostensibly in exchange for Iran dropping its claim to Bahrain. This paper looks at the dispute between the UAE and Iran over these islands, both in its historical context and in terms of its modern manifestations.
Historical Context

Dubai World, a venture funded by the emirate of Dubai, announced that it would place a six-month "standstill" on $4 billion out of $26 billion of its outstanding debt. The move had dramatic repercussions for global financial markets, and the rulers of Dubai needed to evaluate the best strategy with respect to how to proceed following the announcement. The decision had major ramifications for Dubai as a nation-state.
Dubai's economic growth has been strong for several years, but unlike the wealth of neighboring Abu Dhabi, the growth in Dubai is not based on oil wealth. Dubai's wealth essentially comes from its ability to convince investors to put money into the country -- there is no genuine wealth in Dubai, it is all borrowed. This makes the issue of the Dubai World debt critical for the future of the emirate. The country's position as one of the Middle East's most open trade….

Pharmaceutical industries have to operate in an environment that is highly competitive and subject to a wide variety of internal and external constraints. In recent times, there has been an increasing trend to reduce the cost of operation while competing with other companies that manufacture products that treat similar afflictions and ailments. The complexities in drug research and development and regulations have created an industry that is subject to intense pressure to perform. The amount of capital investment investments required to get a drug from conception, through clinical trials and into the market is enormous. The already high-strung pharmaceutical industry is increasingly investing greater amounts of resources in search of the next "blockbuster" drug that can help them gain market position and profits. Laws, regulations and patents are important to the industry while spending billions of dollars in ensuring the copyright of their products.
It is the intention of this thesis….

abaasso, C., Briars, M. & abasso, J. (2015). oyal family business in Qatar and the Emirates through sports club management: Green washing or a sustainable model? The cases of FC Barcelona and Manchester City. IJES Vol. 23 (2) 5.
This paper explores a couple of concepts. The authors look at two examples of sports teams -- FC Barcelona and Manchester City -- that are owned by royal families, one in Qatar and the other in Abu Dhabi. The first premise is that the authors contend these sporting clubs engage in "sustainable" and "responsible" activities. The second element of the article ponders whether those activities will affect a culture shift in these home nations, with the royal families essentially learning things about these concepts from the West and then applying them to their own nations.

On the first point, the author does not do a particularly good job at outlining the term "responsible,"….

Dubai
In November, 2013, Dubai won the rights to the World Expo 2020, setting into motion a major project that will make a substantial contribution to Dubai's economy and be a catalyst for what the emirate hopes will be the continuation of the economic boom that began two decades ago.

Dubai expects that the Expo 2020 will attract 25 million visitors to the emirate over the six months that the Expo will run. This will make it the largest such project in the history of Dubai, and in size the Expo will in all likelihood eclipse the Qatar World Cup as the largest event in the history of the Middle East. Linked to the overall strategy to make Dubai a world-class destination, the World Expo 2020 is going to be part of a larger tourism centerpiece that is expected to propel that sector to become one of the largest revenue-earners for the….
