Description
""United Arab Emirates: A Country Study"" is a comprehensive guide to the history, culture, geography, politics, and economy of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The book is authored by the Federal Research Division, a research arm of the United States Library of Congress, and provides an in-depth analysis of the UAE's development since its formation in 1971. The book begins with an overview of the UAE's geography, climate, and natural resources, followed by a discussion of its history, including its pre-Islamic period, the rise of Islam, and the formation of the seven emirates. The authors also examine the UAE's political system, including its federal structure, the role of the ruling families, and the country's foreign policy. The book then delves into the UAE's economy, discussing its reliance on oil and gas exports, the growth of non-oil sectors, and the country's efforts to diversify its economy. The authors also examine the UAE's social and cultural landscape, including the role of Islam in society, education, and the arts. Throughout the book, the authors provide detailed statistics, maps, and charts to illustrate key points and provide context for the reader. The book concludes with a discussion of the challenges facing the UAE, including the impact of low oil prices, the country's demographic changes, and the need for continued economic diversification. Overall, ""United Arab Emirates: A Country Study"" is an essential resource for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of the UAE's history, culture, politics, and economy.THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES (UAE) in 1993 was a federation of seven separate amirates that had joined together in the winter of 1971-72 to form a single independent country. The new nation was created out of the British dependencies that had been known as the Trucial Coast states (also seen as Trucial Oman or Oman Coast) since 1853 when Britain and the local rulers signed the Treaty of Maritime Peace in Perpetuity, an agreement that ceded to London responsibility for foreign affairs. The individual amirates of the UAE include Abu Dhabi (also seen as Abu Zaby), Ajman, Al Fujayrah, Dubayy (also seen as Dubai), Ras al Khaymah, Sharjah (also seen as Ash Shariqah), and Umm al Qaywayn.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
