Determinants of Emirati Identity and Its Impact on UAE Foreign Policy

Summary

The study tackles  the role of identity and its impact on Emirati foreign policy, from the perspective of the constructivist school in international relations and foreign policy, focusing on the social nature, intellectual factors, the role of identity, the value dimension, how ideas and identities arise, and how they interact with each other, not excluding power as a variable, but viewing power and conflict as the result of cultural perceptions and accumulations, where this pattern of interactions can be handled by changing ideas and perceptions.
