Exploring the cultural factors that have impacted on the foreign policy behaviour of the UAE and its foreign aid, the author argues that the country's foreign policy and foreign aid is strongly influenced by Islamic teachings and by its Arab culture. The author offers a critical analysis of Arab aid in general through the lens of International Relations theories (mainly Constructivism and Rationalism), as well as an in-depth study of the UAE's foreign aid programme. Using the case studies of Palestine and Pakistan, the focus moves beyond the UAE to show how cultural factors have impacted on the behaviour of the authorities across the wider Arab Middle East.Adopting a new approach to how this particular case is examined and researched, this book will be of particular interest to students, researchers and academics interested in Middle East studies, the Gulf States, Middle East politics, and foreign aid and foreign policy"--Provided by publisher.Culture and civilisation in the Middle East.Economic assistance, EmiratiUnited Arab EmiratesForeign relationsUnited Arab EmiratesForeign relationsArab countriesUnited Arab EmiratesPolitics and governmentEconomic assistance, Emirati.338.91095357HIS026000POL011000SOC053000bisacshAlmezaini Khalid S.925831MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778961603321The UAE and foreign policy3709660UNINA
