A former assistant professor of political science at Sheikh Zayed University in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, Davidson traces the transformation of Dubai from sleepy backwater to major player on the world stage in in-depth, authoritative detail, showing how the semiautonomous sheikdom has diversified its economy well beyond its original dependence on oil (which today accounts for a tiny fraction of its revenue).
