Résumé

Dubai is an oasis of success and a laboratory of modernity. It has comfortably turned itself into a major business center, freeing itself from an alienating dependence on oil and diversifying its economy into financial services, tourism, new technology and media.

Its success breaks with the image of an Arab world unfit for modernization and development. Muslim Dubai, which now belongs in the globalized world, has managed to achieve a harmonious balance between tradition and modern practices.

Certainly, this development is problematic. However, it has become a concept, an idea and perhaps a model that can be exported. It is a dream for many Arabs.

Political scientists, journalists, economists and those involved in its economy describe and discuss here the way the city-state has changed, how it works and how other Arabs see it. Their tracing of the distance covered from ancient trading port to new global city and vision of a "post-modern state" is a rare look at what is often called "the Dubai model."

Contributors: Habib Al-Mulla, Saeed Al-Muntafiq, Christophe Ayad, Joseph Bahout, Naoufel Brahimi El-Mili, Hanane Cherkaoui, Fatiha Dazi-Heni, Amar Drissi, Mustapha El Alaoui, Bernard El-Ghoul, Aboubakr famai, Abdulhamid Juma, Laurence Louer, and Omar Saghi.
Edited by Amar Drissi, Executive Vice-President of Strategic Communications Group, and Thierry de Montbrial, President of the Institut francais des relations internationales (Ifri).
Co-ordinated by Khadija Mohsen-Finan, Senior Research Fellow at Ifri.
