    Citizenship in the Arab World IMISCOE International Migration, Integration and Social Cohesion in Europe The IMISCOE Network of Excellence unites over 500 researchers from European institutes specialising in studies of international migration, integration and social cohesion. The Network is funded by the Sixth Framework Programme of the European Commission on Research, Citizens and Governance in a Knowledge-Based Society. Since its foundation in 2004, IMISCOE has developed an integrated, multidisciplinary and globally comparative research project led by scholars from all branches of the economic and social sciences, the humanities and law. The Network both furthers existing studies and pioneers new research in migration as a discipline. Priority is also given to promoting innovative lines of inquiry key to European policymaking and governance. The IMISCOE-Amsterdam University Press Series was created to make the Network’s findings and results available to researchers, policymakers and practitioners, the media and other interested stakeholders. High-quality manuscripts authored by IMISCOE members and cooperating partners are published in one of four distinct series. IMISCOE Research advances sound empirical and theoretical scholarship addressing themes within IMISCOE’s mandated fields of study. IMISCOE Reports disseminates Network papers and presentations of a time-sensitive nature in book form. IMISCOE Dissertations presents select PhD monographs written by IMISCOE doctoral candidates. IMISCOE Textbooks produces manuals, handbooks and other didactic tools for instructors and students of migration studies.

  • Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan
    2 SHEIKH SHAKHBUT AND THE GREAT DECLINE Inheriting a powerful and prosperous sheikhdom, hegemony over their neighbours, and a strong relationship with their British protec- tors, the children and grandchildren of Sheikh Zayed bin Khalifa Al- Nahyan nonetheless dragged Abu Dhabi into a mire of internal discord, poverty, and isolation. Their capital, which began the twenti- eth century as the most populous settlement in the lower Gulf, soon descended into obscurity and what had once been a thriving economy became an increasingly marginalized backwater. Decades of successful expansionism were coming undone as the ruling family’s authority shrank so much that it commanded little authority beyond the most historic of its ancestral homes. By the mid-1960s, long after their more progressive and commercially-minded Bani Yas relatives in Dubai and the Qawasim of Sharjah had assumed leading roles in regional affairs, residents of Abu Dhabi found themselves on the side- lines of both important Gulf-wide political developments and a massive economic boom prompted by the discovery and exploitation of some of the world’s largest oil reserves. In some ways, the sheikh- dom’s economic downswing was inevitable given the precariousness of its pearling industry and the impact of international recession. But even with the arrival of oil wealth little improved, as the Al-Nahyan still lacked a forward-thinking leader capable of harnessing the new economic opportunities and overcoming the factionalism that threat- ened to tear the monarchy apart. 25 ABU DHABI The early successions The many wives of Sheikh Zayed bin Khalifa Al-Nahyan—most of whom hailed from different Bani Yas sections or different tribes— underpinned the strength of his rule and the stability of Abu Dhabi during the nineteenth century.

    Planning Abu Dhabi: From Arish Village to a Global, Sustainable, Arab Capital City By Alamira Reem Bani Hashim A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Elizabeth S. Macdonald, Chair Professor Michael Southworth Professor Greig Crysler Summer 2015 © Alamira Reem Bani Hashim Abstract Planning Abu Dhabi: From Arish Village to a Global, Sustainable Arab Capital City by Alamira Reem Bani Hashim Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor Elizabeth S. Macdonald, Chair The overarching objective of this research project is to explore and document the urban history of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It is organized as a comparative study of urban planning and design processes in Abu Dhabi during three major periods of the city’s development following the discovery of oil: (1) 1960-1966: Sheikh Shakhbut Bin Sultan Al Nahyan’s rule (2) 1966-2004: Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan’s rule; and (3) 2004-2013: Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s rule. The intention of this study is to go beyond a typical historical narrative of sleepy village-turned-metropolis, to compare and contrast the different visions of each ruler and his approach to development; to investigate the role and influence of a complex network of actors, including planning institutions, architects, developers, construction companies and various government agencies; to examine the emergence and use of comprehensive development plans and the policies and values underlying them; as well as to understand the decision-making processes and design philosophies informing urban planning, in relation to the political and economic context of each period.

In addition, the study outlines the nature of conflict on Khawr al-Udayd between Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Qatar. Each party claimed the Khawr as its own property, and put forth its arguments and justifications through various means. The study also shows the role of Britain on this conflict as it played a key role in reducing the intensity of the conflict between the aforementioned three parties interested in taking control of the Creek. The British documents reveal how Britain was able to limit Saudi Arabia expansion towards the Creek, thereby preventing it from controlling it in addition to convincing the ruler of Abu Dhabi to assign Khawr al- Udayd, which devolved to the Qatari’s control thanks to the British support. The study was based on primary sources, including British documents, other foreign and Arab documentary sources, as well as modern references specialized in the geography and modern and contemporary history of the Arabian Gulf.
