...Almost all countries in the world create armies to support internal and external security. The army of the UAE is not obligatory for UAE citizens. They can join the army if they want to serve for their country. Currently, they sign contracts, which regulate their relationships with army. Moreover, military career becomes popular with both men and women in UAE. However, conscription is a possible option fr UAE authorities to choose to make the army more powerful and numerous and educate young people to be knowledgeable in the military sphere. The implementation щf conscription to the army has both advantages and disadvantages, which will be discussed in this paper. Today the UAE army is not very big, but quite effective. It is well-structured and consists of Nave, Air, Army and Air Defense Force (“Emirati Army”). All these divisions invite men and women to join the army to provide better inner security for citizens. Paramilitary forces are a separate special division, which helps the country to provide better realization of laws and rights on the territory of the country. The question of conscription arises because the huge part of people in the army and non-nationals. The policies to attract nationals to serve in the army date back to 1992, when 30% of all military servants were non-nationals (“Emirati Army”). Conscription is the most radical out of all policies suggested for developing the army. Army develops slowly but steadily. According to Global Security organization, in...

...HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Early Years: The United Arab Emirates (UAE) was formed from the group of tribally organized Arabian Peninsula sheikhdoms along the southern coast of the Persian Gulf and the northwestern coast of the Gulf of Oman. This area was converted to Islam in the seventh century and for Library of Congress – Federal Research Division Country Profile: United Arab Emirates, July 2007 centuries afterward was embroiled in dynastic disputes. Most UAE nationals are descended from two tribal groupings, the Qawasim and the Bani Yas, which emerged as leading powers in the eighteenth century. The Qawasim, mainly land and sea traders, dominated what are today the emirates of Ras al Khaymah and Sharjah. The Bani Yas, who were agricultural and pastoral, lived in what are today the emirates of Abu Dhabi and Dubai. From the seventeenth to the nineteenth century, the area became known as the Pirate Coast, as both European and Arab pirates attacked foreign ships. The British mounted expeditions against the pirates during this period, culminating in an 1818 campaign against the pirate headquarters of Ras al Khaymah and other harbors along the coast. This action ostensibly was taken to safeguard British maritime routes, particularly those of the British East India Company, but some historians have noted that the war was in fact motivated by the British desire to establish supremacy in the region against the claims of other European powers. British Rule: In 1820 Britain...

...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...

...The Theory of Globalization in Dubai William Jackson Jr Keller School of Graduate Management Abstract This paper will explore Dubai, the world’s fastest growing city on the Arabian Gulf which features the most amazing projects, that appears to be the new tourism model for the world. Mega-resorts featuring golf courses, marinas, hotels, housing estates, super-malls and entertainment facilities are mushrooming along coastlines in all continents. The globalization in Dubai will be presented utilizing examples from South Africa, Vietnam, the Bahamas and Mexico. Many of those Mega-resort and housing complexes are built by Middle Eastern companies utilizing capital from the Middle East. The city of Dubai tourism-related projects are called “bubbles set to burst”. One analyst, called Dubai “the harshest of lessons in the perils of rampant property speculation”. The property, tourism and golf industries have already suffered downturns as a result of the global credit crunch, and the majority of the ambitious resort projects may not survive the current economic crisis. Developers and speculators will lose money, but the major losers will be local communities and the environment. In addition to concerns about the economic risks, there are growing worries about the global food shortage crisis and how it impacts of climate change. But decision-makers are careless when it comes to giving the green light to constructing monstrous resorts and housing...

...and it has helped in wealth creation to the population. Development of UAE can furnish a fine example to other oil –rich nations as UAE has agreeably managed to overcome the negative outcomes of exporting oil and has projected the benefits involved in it. An open economy, UAE has high per capita income and also substantial trade surplus. This is achieved mainly through the steady oil prices that boosted government revenues. Though primarily oil based economy, non-oil sectors are also gaining a lot of importance in driving UAE’s economy. Tourism, financial services, foreign trade etc are playing a major role in economic development. Increased spending in infrastructure development, job creation and free trade zones which boast 100% foreign ownership and no taxes are helping the country in attracting investment from all over the...

...Company in the Importation of Automobiles from Germany to UAE Name of Student Name of Instructor Name of Institution Date of Submission Executive Summary There are a number of challenges faced by organizations wishing to conduct business with other firms in a foreign country. The reason behind this is that the organization will be required to engage either in the importation or exportation of goods or services. The Emirates Motor Company has for many years engaged in the importation of Mercedes Benz from Germany into the UAE. One of the major challenges that the organization has suffered is lack of sufficient funding. As such, the organization has not been in a position to fully exploit the UAE market. The company also has to deal with high cost of operations. Importation activities require firms to pay for shipping and loading charges for the goods. The importer also has to incur insurance charges. The costs result in an increase in the cost of commodities making them undesirable to customers. Delays in payment also make it difficult for the company to replenish its stock. Outline 1. Executive Summary 2. Introduction 3. Literature Review a) An Overview of the Emirates Motor Company’s Import Business b) History of Importation of Mercedes Benz Automobiles from Germany to the UAE c) External Analysis of the World Automobile Industry d) External Analysis of the Trade between the UAE and Germany in Automobiles e) Internal Analysis of the...

The waters have been used as trade route since long and the modern trade has further enhanced the need of trade through waters. Pakistan being a gateway to the strategically important 'Strait Of Hurmoz' in the Indian Ocean, blessed with hidden treasures and bordering two Islamic Republics, Afghanistan and Iran, has always been a centre piece for Regional Politics. The emergence of Gwadar Port as a vibrant regional economic hub has caused the regional and extra regional powers to develop strategic and infra structural development with Gwadar Port to reach the energy rich Central Asian Republics (CARs). Iran and Dubai Port World (UAE) have interests to keep Gwadar Port out of competition as it serves as a gateway to Strait of Hurmoz. Pakistan needs to be addressing all the concerns to make Gwadar as a regional energy corridor.

The top of the funnel is this wide area of Central Asia and also China's western region. And this funnel gets narrowed on through Afghanistan and Pakistan and the end of this funnel is Gwadar port.
