Shipping and Development in Dubai
I.B. Tauris (Verlag)
978-0-7556-4166-6 (ISBN)
The book shows that in contrast to its competitors’ hydrocarbon rentier economic model, Dubai’s creation and expansion of ports and airports, together with ‘value-added’ logistics and business-friendly enhancements, were used to out-compete regional rivals. Drawing on a range of primary and secondary sources, including interviews with logistics business-people, government records, memoirs, it fills a significant lacuna in the history of Dubai’s development and emergence as a global trade hub.
Keith Robert Nuttall holds a PhD from the University of East Anglia, UK. He previously worked in the shipping industry, including postings to Dubai, Sharjah, and Japan.
