This book is the fourth book in the Contemporary  Gulf state  series, and seeks to define the era of contemporary history in the Arab Gulf region. This book tracks the evolution of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from a surviving state to an assertive power, since early 1990s, providing a holistic and an integrated account of the contemporary UAE from an interdisciplinary perspective. To date, most accounts of the UAE in existing literature focus on one particular aspect of the UAE. This book stands apart in its multifaceted approach to Emirati politics, culture, and society. Relevant to researchers, students and policymakers, the volume maps the new trends and dynamics in and around this rapidly changing Gulf country. In doing so, the book cultivates a current and comprehensive account of the current developments and debates in, and surrounding, the UAE.
