  • The United Arab Emirates – a Product of British Imperialism?
    The United Arab Emirates – A Product of British Imperialism? By Helene von Bismarck | Published: January 16, 2012 © The British Scholar Society Citation advice: Helene von Bismarck, ‘The United Arab Emirates – A Product of British Imperialism?’, January 2012, http://britishscholar.org/publications/2012/01/16/the-united- arab-emirates-a-product-of-british-imperialism/ Helene von Bismarck A few weeks ago, the United Arab Emirates celebrated their 40th anniversary as an independent and sovereign nation. Festivities held across the UAE commemorated the signing of the Proclamation of Union on 2 December 1971 by the rulers of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Umm al-Qaiwain, Fujairah and Ajman. Initially created as a federation of six, the UAE gained a seventh member when Ras al-Khaimah joined in early 1972. Until 1971, the seven shaikhdoms that were to form the UAE had been known as Trucial States and been part of Great Britain’s informal empire in the Persian Gulf. British power in the area had been based on an interdependent system of military presence, formal treaty relations with the Trucial States, Bahrain and Qatar, as well as informal political influence on the local rulers. The UAE’s 40th National Day is a good occasion to re-examine the transition process that led seven extremely small shaikhdoms on the eastern shore of the Persian Gulf to enter the world stage as one independent federation after leaving their military protection and the conduct of their external affairs for more than a century to imperial Great Britain. The analysis of this process becomes even more interesting in view of the fact that the UAE’s history since 1971, at least from the point of view of political stability and economic progress, has been one of remarkable success.

  • The United Arab Emirates (UAE): Issues for U.S
    The United Arab Emirates (UAE): Issues for U.S. Policy Updated August 16, 2019 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RS21852 The United Arab Emirates (UAE): Issues for U.S. Policy Summary The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been a significant U.S. partner in Gulf security, helping to address multiple regional threats by hosting U.S. military personnel at UAE military facilities and buying sophisticated U.S. military equipment, including missile defenses and combat aircraft. The alliance with the United States is expected to continue after UAE President Shaykh Khalifa bin Zayid Al Nuhayyan, who suffered an incapacitating stroke in January 2014, is succeeded by his younger brother and de-facto UAE leader Shaykh Muhammad bin Zayid Al Nuhayyan. With ample financial resources and a military that has long been advised and armed by the United States, the UAE has increasingly asserting itself in the region. The UAE has been part of a Saudi- led military effort to pressure the Iran-backed Zaidi Shia Houthi rebels in Yemen, an effort to which the United States provides logistical support but which has produced criticism over the effects of the war on Yemen’s civilians. That criticism has contributed to a July 2019 decision to remove most of the UAE’s ground forces from that conflict. UAE forces continue to support pro- UAE factions in southern Yemen and, alongside U.S. special operations forces, continue to combat Al Qaeda’s affiliate in that country. The UAE is supporting an anti-Islamist commander based in eastern Libya, Khalifa Hafter, who in April 2019 launched an assault to capture Tripoli from a U.N.-backed government based there.

  • Emir: Ruler of an Islamic Country Emirate: a Country Ruled by an Emir
    emir: ruler of an Islamic country emirate: a country ruled by an emir Brief History of the United Arab Emirates *Information adapted from the United Arab Emirates Embassy The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a young country that has emerged as an economic powerhouse in its short history. The UAE was first declared December 2, 1971, with six emirates joining. Initially, there were eight emirates, but at the last minute, two of the emirates decided to break away and create independent countries (Qatar and Bahrain). In early 1972, the seventh emirate joined creating the UAE that is known today. The two largest of the emirates are: Abu Dhabi and Dubai. As result, of this union, the Emirates have sought to create a distinct national identity with clearly defined goals and initiatives for the future. Due to its location on the Arabian Peninsula, the religion of Islam would reach the region circa 630 C.E. Later, when Europeans arrived as part of the Indian Ocean trade network, they came to understand the value of the location of the emirates along the Persian Gulf. The desire of the Europeans was to control the coasts while the Bedouin tribes lived in the interior desert region. In the 19th century, the British signed a series of agreements with individual emirates that resulted in an area known as “The Trucial States.” The emirates agreed not to cede any territory except to the United Kingdom and to refrain from engagement with any foreign government other than the United Kingdom without prior consent from the British. In return, the British promised to protect the coast from all aggression by sea and to provide assistance in the event of an attack by land.
