  2. The United Arab Emirates : a study in survival

    Davidson, Christopher M. (Christopher Michael)
    Boulder, Colo. : Lynne Rienner Publishers, 2005.

He then turns his attention to the UAE's seemingly anachronistic political structure and its socioeconomic development. His astute analysis highlights the UAE's achievements, as well as the problems that have persistently undermined its development objectives.
