On July 25, AGSIW hosted a discussion on the United Arab Emirates' transformation after the Arab Spring.
Speakers
Khalifa Al Suwaidi, Research Fellow, Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy
Hussein Ibish, Senior Resident Scholar, AGSIW (Moderator)
In his book The UAE after the Arab Spring: Strategy for Survival, Khalifa Al Suwaidi examines how the United Arab Emirates reacted to the waves of regional unrest during the Arab Spring. The book argues that the UAE leadership encouraged a new national identity and espoused a proactive foreign policy as a response to the changing domestic and regional environment. In this essential publication, Al Suwaidi sheds light on the transformation of the UAE from a quietist state to an assertive regional power.
