“…The issue of identity is especially significant in the UAE context, given that its society is based on a tribal system. This tribal system depends on allegiances and relationships which are hierarchical, situational, symbiotic and gendered (Rugh, 2007). The changes brought about by women’s economic participation have to be carefully managed to avoid any apparent breach of the commonly shared system of cultural values that could damage these relationships and allegiances.…”

Purpose The aim of this study is to investigate the highly dynamic cultural landscape relating to economically active Emirati women who are supported by government policy but may be exposed to some societal disapprobation. Design/methodology/approach Narrative methodology is used to explore how women respond to the perceived discord between their economic agency and enduring traditional norms associated with women. Findings Results indicate that a prevailing discursive mode within participants’ narratives is that the working woman is not at all a new phenomenon in their society but has always been a feature of Emirati history. Originality/value This study’s contribution to theory building is its demonstration of how traditional Arab Islamic values and modern state policy are being combined in a way that blurs the apparent dichotomy between tradition and modernity.

“…Unconventionally, Sheikh Zayed selected the next Crown Prince before his death and made this decision public, to prevent any internal conflict within the family. 86 The change in leadership after the death of Shaikh Zayed, with the peaceful succession of Sheikh Khalifa, has provided an opportunity for MBZ's greater involvement in policymaking than is usual for a Crown Prince. 87 MBZ has a strong personality and a lot of support from his brothers from the Bani Fatima Block, in addition to his close relationships with the US and Saudi Arabia.…”

The military intervention in Yemen is analysed in this paper within a context dominated by the United Arab Emirates (UAE). There are several scholarly works regarding the Emirates' involvement in Yemen, but there are only a few about the recent series of transformations that the policymaking has undergone. This research aims to fill this gap by arguing that the prioritisation of national interest has transformed the Emirati policy regarding Yemen from 'bandwagoning' to 'buck-passing'. The main objective in this paper is to scrutinise the UAE's motivations in engaging in a buck-passing strategy towards Qatar and Saudi Arabia. From this point of view, any proper examination of the UAE's drivers in policy change must begin by investigating the relationship between internal and external motivations. The assessment combines levels of systemic and individual dimensions in order to examine two main motivations as to why the buck-passing is articulated to bandwagoning. A structural complexity is embedded in the UAE's strategies. Prioritisation of economic gains over military interests and the consolidation of internal power are two reasons for such policy transformation.
