From the Paper
"The Arab world has long been the source of oil and natural gas to the entire world. In being so the emirate has thrived for long as a world leader and a conglomerate of oil rich nations. Globalization has on its part been a source of extensive influence in many different spheres; economically, socially, politically, culturally or militarily. Largely a desert dominated topography, the nations of the United Arab Emirates have thrived on oil and energy related foreign trade that has bolstered their economic and political status across the globe and has placed them on par with superpowers of the world as in the likes of the United States, The United Kingdom, and The European Union and so on. The vast and untapped potential hidden in the expanses of the desert hemisphere has long been the focal point of observation and interest of many a western nation who wanted to play a dominant role in exerting its presence in the region."

"The United Arab Emirates has much farther to travel and many a sea full of issues to transverse across before a cognitive and fully functioning societal base can be realized. The overbearing male superiority will not advance this society in the Gulf region but will only tend to lead them to a place of societal isolation from a world fully implemented into the globalization of all nationalities."

From the Paper
"Just twenty years ago Dubai was a small trading port. The nineteenth century witnessed growth in the village when the Bani Yas tribe, in the number of around 800 individuals settled in Dubai. By the first of the 20th century Dubai had begun to witness settlers coming from Baluchistan, Iran and India due to the fact that Dubai contained 350 shops and was gaining in prosperity by this time. Dubai was said to be a "natural haven" (History of Dubai Online) for those who left Lingah, on the Persian coast. The Indian population that had made Dubai their home were active merchants and the village gained a "cosmopolitan atmosphere as well as an air of tolerance" and this began to draw more foreigners to the region. During the 1930's approximately one-fourth of the population were not native citizens or the amount of 20,000 member of the population plus, 2,000 Persians and 1,000 Baluchis."

Abstract
The Middle East usually comes across as a conglomerate of several countries, all-behaving similarly. However there are extreme differences even among neighboring countries with same religion and language. This paper discusses sharp differences between the two Middle East countries, namely Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.
From the Paper
"Saudi Arabia is a kingdom with one of the largest oil deposits which, to date remain the focus of the Saudian economy, taking away a major percentage of the Gross Domestic Product. Saudi Arabia?s economy is thus dependent on oil and oil derivatives, which account for 90-95% of Saudi export earnings, 75% of the budget, and about 35-40% of GDP. To reduce this dependency, the Saudi Arabian government is studying non-oil revenue generating sources. Saudi per capita GDP which was highest in 1981, when both the U.S. and Saudi Arabia had a per capita GDP, in current dollars, of about US $28,600, is approximately $7000.
Public sector debt (almost all central government domestic debt) has been hovering between 90 to 100% of the GDP for the past few years. The accumulating interest payments due on this debt form a major portion of the capital expenditures in the budget. Though, it is interesting to note that overseas Saudi private capital amounts to $600-700 billion, or four to five times the Saudi GDP. Moreover, foreign worker remittances, about US $16 billion annually, continue to be a burden on the current account. Thus the Saudi economy, as a result of oil dependency and state-controlled enterprises is heavily burdened (Saudi Arabia Country Analysis Brief, 2003)."

Abstract
This paper discusses several factors which must be examined when considering investment in a foreign market. The paper paper explains that some of the areas of concern for companies interested in undertaking foreign direct investment include exchange rates and exchange rate risks, the banking and finance sector of the market, interest rates, and income levels of the local population. The paper then uses these factors to examine the United Arab Emirates (UAE) market. The author concludes that, because of increasing inflation and ongoing dependence on foreign labor, a local joint venture (JV) partner might be the most advisable FDI route as opposed to another vehicle entry strategy in the UAE.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The global perspective on corporate governance is evolving in tandem with globalization itself and the UAE is actively improving its governance of both local and MNE activity in fashion that improves competitiveness and encourages FDI. With the pace of global expansion and the increasingly complex integration of the world's major economies, corporate governance and oversight are necessary measures to ensure an equitable, level playing field for all participants in the global economy."

Abstract
This paper provides a brief overview of the United Arab Emirates, a federation of seven independent states lying along the east-central coast of the Arabian Peninsula, formerly called the Trucial States (from the Perpetual Maritime Truce signed with Great Britain in 1853), focusing on the demographics and economy of this country.
From the Paper
"The states that compose the U.A.E. occupy a rather vaguely defined area formerly known as the Pirate Coast, as well as 50 miles of coast on the Gulf of Oman and are bounded on the north by Qatar and the Persian Gulf, on the east by the Gulf of Oman, and on the south and west by Saudi Arabia. The total area of the country is about 30,000 square miles (<Britannica.com>).
The population grew rapidly in the 1970s and 1980s, largely because of alien workers, and was estimated (1999) at 2,344,400. Of these, 19 percent are Emiri, 23 percent are other Arabs and Iranians, 50 percent are South Asians (primarily Pakistanis), and 8 percent are Westerners and East Asians (U.S. Department of State website)."

From the Paper
"In order to make a decision regarding marketing products or investing in a given country, it is necessary to understand the country in question. Key to this understanding is an appreciation of the history and culture involved, as well as an examination of the physical characteristics of the land. The bureaucratic infrastructure, government and economy are all primary considerations. In order to develop a basic understanding of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), it is necessary to examine the physical environment, the population demographics, cultural characteristics of the country, the state of the economy, and the future outlook for the UAE.
The UAE is, as its name implies, a collection of seven fairly independent emirates: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Umm alQaiwain, Ajman, Fujairah and Ras al-Khaimah. Located on the..."

Abstract
The paper examines the reluctance of the U.A.E. to grant citizenship to non-tribal Arab's involved in the Arab-Israeli conflict on ethnic grounds. The paper analyzes the phenomenon of migrant workers moving into the country as a result of the growing oil economy and the introduction of western cultural influences that have diluted the strict practice of Islam in the U.A.E. It also looks at the educational and professional opportunities that have become available to women due to the modernizing forces at work.
From the Paper
"This conflict within Arab nationalism is echoed within UAE. While both Arab nationalists and UAE try to embrace modernity, progress and Westernization, it threatens their national and cultural identity rooted in Islam. Arab nationalism proposes to not only bring Arabs together, but also provide non-Muslim minorities within Arab countries fair, secular rule under which minorities could regain their rights. In the same way, by adopting a more modern approach to the status of women, UAE aims to provide a more Westernized, progressive society to the large number of foreigners working within its borders. Both Arab nationalism and UAE try to separate themselves from the world?s negative view of Islam, which is often labeled as imperialist and reactionary. In the eyes of the world, Islamic states oppress ethnic and religious minorities and treat women as second-class citizens."

Abstract
This paper highlights and analyzes the impact of globalization on the Arab/Islamic styles of management. The paper further highlights the Western styles of management and how these styles have integrated and influenced the Islamic styles of management.
From the Paper
"In the vein of the rest of the world, the process of globalization has profoundly influenced Muslim Countries. The lives of their peoples have been transformed, as have their philosophies, relationships, and logic of innovative expression. Some have greeted these transformations with arms wide open, at the same time as others fret on the nature of the changes happening and the aptitude of those affected to react suitably. One of the fundamental reasons of such apprehensions has been a comprehensive management concern: how to protect an exceptional legacy in the face of global stress; to sustain management customs; to protect linguistic cleanliness; to preserve social, political and economic traditions; as well as, eventually, to maintain a practical identity in the center of a speedily transforming global setting.

Abstract
This paper discusses globalization and global labour patterns. The paper argues that in a globalized world corporations are determining the labour conditions in both developed and developing countries. It suggests that the corporations are essentially making cheap, unskilled and flexible labourers.
From the Paper
"Globalization and Global Labour Patterns Globalization is one of the most controversial issues in politics and economics. In "Note on Terminalogy" David McNally defines globalization as, "The mainstream term for the new world Economy of the past twenty years" (McNally 9). How exactly has the world economy changed? While discussing the political and economic changes that have occurred over the last three decades Teeple explains, A system of highly integrated world trade was an irreversible fact by the end of the 1970s, confirmed and hastened by the new means of transportation and communications, whose increased productivity were transforming the worldwide distribution of products and hence the global conditions for valorization (Teeple 71)."
