pt. 1. The "Singapore of the Gulf" -- pt. 2. Dubai: a transportable model? -- pt. 3. Three Dubai executives bear witness.
Political scientists, journalists, economists and those involved in its econmy 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." -- Cover
