...UAE Society & Culture The United Arab Emirates is home to a rich cultural heritage that has been strongly influenced by its unique environment. The region's varied terrain, desert, oasis, mountains and coast, dictated the traditional lifestyles that evolved over the centuries. A resilience and resourcefulness necessary to survive in these harsh conditions was fostered by society’s age-old tribal structure: each family was traditionally bound by obligations of mutual assistance to his immediate relatives and to the tribe as a whole. Among the tribe an individual's selfless hospitality was the source of his honour and pride. A common religion, Islam, also provided the cement that held society together. The UAE’s rich history is rooted in trade and tied to Islam, which came to the region in AD 630. For centuries, the region was home to small fishing towns and a nomadic Bedouin people. Eventually, its location between Europe and the Far East attracted merchants from India and China and was prized by Europeans. And over time, cities like Abu Dhabi and Dubai became large trading hubs. In the 19th and early 20th century many inhabitants were semi-nomadic, pearling in the summer and tending date gardens in the winter for trade. Today, the seven Emirates have forged a distinct national identity combining the traditional with the modern. The UAE’s culture is rooted in the traditions of a nomadic, desert people. The tribe has been the principal building block of UAE society since...

...Introduction In a few short weeks, I will be taking the trip of a life time to the United Arab Emirates! The UAE is an exciting place full of wonder and new adventures. The country is separated into seven distinct Emirates, each seeming to create a feel of past, present, and future depending on the Emirate you visit. The futuristic city of Dubai, currently boasting the tallest building in the world- the Burj Khalifa, has become internationally known as a major trading hub and popular tourist destination. And while the UAE has changed rapidly over the last several decades, it has nevertheless kept it culture of hospitality and perseverance alive. I am very excited to have the opportunity to explore such an interesting place and experience everything the United Arab Emirates has to offer! History & Customs The United Arab Emirates has a relatively short history as a nation. The area it currently resides in was actually highly known for piracy back in the day. So much so that in the early 19th century, pirates had provoked the intervention of the British. This resulted in the British enforcing a temporary truce in 1820 that eventually became permanent in 1853. The British provided the nine Trucial states with protection but did not formally administer them as a colony. “Thus what had once been deemed the ‘Pirate Coast’ was renamed the ‘Trucial Coast’” (Pearson, 2014). “With relatively calm seas, the pearling industry boomed during the 19th and early 20th centuries” (Council...

...The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a Middle Eastern federation of seven states situated in the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula in Southwest Asia on the Persian Gulf, bordering Oman and Saudi Arabia. The seven states, termed emirates, are Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm al-Quwain. Independence (1971). By 1966 it had become clear the British Government could no longer afford to administer and protect what is now the United Arab Emirates. British MPs debated the preparedness of the Royal Navy to defend the trucial sheikhdoms. Secretary of State for Defence Denis Healey reported that the British Armed Forces were seriously overstretched and in some respects dangerously under-equipped to defend the trucial sheikhdoms. On 24 January 1968, British Prime Minister Harold Wilson announced the government's decision, reaffirmed in March 1971 by Prime Minister Edward Heath to end the treaty relationships with the seven Trucial sheikhdoms that had been, together with Bahrain and Qatar, under British protection. Days after the announcement, the ruler of Abu Dhabi Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, fearing vulnerability, tried to persuade the British to honour the protection treaties by offering to pay the full costs of keeping the British Armed Forces in the Emirates. The British Labour government rejected the offer.[32] After Labour MP Goronwy Roberts informed Sheikh Zayed of the news of British withdrawal, the nine Gulf sheikhdoms attempted to form...

...eGovernment Strategies The Case of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) This article provides an overview of eGovernment and its role in revolutionising existing governmental systems. It argues that in order for eGovernment initiatives to truly succeed, we need to develop public trust and confidence to promote diffusion and participation. The article relates this to the recently announced UAE eGovernment Strategic Framework 2011-2013. The framework attempts to promote the electronic transformation of all government services within a period of three years. An important component of the strategic framework in question is the use of the existing national identity management infrastructure and the development of a government-owned federated identity management system to support Governmentto-Citizen (G2C) eGovernment transactions and promote trust and confidence on the Internet. Dr. Ali M. Al-Khouri United Arab Emirates Keywords eGovernment, identity management, federated identity, identity card. Government-owned identity management systems that provide secure, unique and tamper-proof digital identities should become a primary component of national eGovernment strategies. Such federated identity systems can gain higher levels of trust, confidence and encourage public participation and has the potential to enable new levels of collaboration between different government agencies.

Cultural Identity is a key contributor to an individuals well being. Relating to a specific society group helps individuals to feel they have a place and gives them a sense of security. This essay would show how globalization is a threat to cultural identity, it also explains on the factors that threaten the cultural identity in the UAE such as the loss of Arabic language, foreign educational curricula and Media. Despite the fact that, the significance of English as the most widely used language of globalization is perceived, Arabic is viewed as an essential piece of national, Middle Easterner and Islamic character. It is obvious that the individuals who are not familiar with English will be at clear disadvantage which leads to the fears of natives and governments seething that Arabic dialect is crumbling at a disturbing rate and adding to youth losing their personality, society and legacy (Tomlinson, 2013). Dialect is thought to be the most conspicuous piece of any society on the grounds that individuals use to communicate with and communication acts as an essential part in exchanging the social traits starting with one era then onto the next. Due to the fact that the over impedance of western society and globalization in the UAE, their dialect avoided and changed towards...

...U.A.E: The Success Story The emergence of the UAE as an economic powerhouse is an example of a country going through a tremendous transformation. From a tiny country with a nomadic society to building the most modern city in the world. The city being Dubai of course. Dubai is the crown jewel of the UAE and the arab world as a whole. Now one of the most sought-after tourist destinations and business hubs for citizens of the world, Dubai’s success story has made many other Middle Eastern nations take notice. In a survey done by the Arab Youth organization, young arabs chose the UAE as “the country they would most like to move to… and the country they would most like their country to emulate” (Badam). The UAE was ahead of 20 other countries, including the United States, Germany and Britain, as young people’s top country to live in. What led to the UAE’s astronomical rise? What policies led to the resources from oil revenues being spent in the most efficient fashion in comparison to other nations? These are the questions I will tackle in this paper. The UAE was established in 1971 when the rulers of the seven independent emirates agreed to instill a unifying constitution. The ruler of Abu Dhabi at the time , Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, was chosen to lead the country. Since then, the ruler of Abu Dhabi is President of the United Arab Emirates, the head of state, and the ruler of Dubai is the Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, the head of government.

...analyzing and comprehending the globalization phenomenon. These range from Harvey’s time-space compression to Castells’s network society and Sassen’s global city and hierarchies of global urban networks. ICTs and Urban Competitiveness in Dubai The ICT sector in Dubai has developed along three axes: ICT policy and capacity, human resource capacity, and local and regional networkind capacity. As noted earlier, urban capacity and interaction in these three areas ultimately determine the effectiveness of public policy for successfully addressing the challenge of providing the necessary network capacity and local and global connectivity for an innovative, learning knowledge economy. ICT Policy and Capacity Under the federal structure of UAE, development of the telecommunications sector in the country is a federal rather than emirate responsibility. As such, all telecommunications and Internet facilities in Dubai, as in other UAE cities, are governed by and offered through the public telecommunications company Ettisalat. We cannot, therefore, disaggregate telecommunications data for Dubai and must use the UAE data as a proxy for our analysis. This is compatible with the national data available through the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). if we consider the number of PCs and Internet Access (See Table 3), the UAE is again leading the Middle Eastern region.
