Zusatztext "This book is a panoramic in its scope and a guide to the one of the most opened economies in the Arab region, i.e. Dubai's economy. The repercussions of economic globalization and financial crisis on macroeconomic management, economic policies, oil market, financial system, and real estate are well analyzed and written. I recommend the book for those who have heard about Dubai's experience and want to know more in depth." - Ahmed Al Kawaz, professor of Economics, Arab Planning Institute-Kuwait 'This volume comprises frontier research on the lessons and policy implications of the global crisis for the world at large and Dubai's development strategy and policies in particular. The book's original and policy-relevant contributions by world-known researchers add value to the understanding of the roots of the crisis and the required changes in macroeconomic, financial, and macro-prudential policies worldwide. The lessons drawn for GCC economies and for Dubai are based on deep knowledge about the latter economies and their exposure to the recent crisis. This timely volume should be read by international economists and Middle East policy makers alike.' - Klaus Schmidt-Hebbel, former chief economist of the OECD and professor of Economics at the Catholic University of Chile Informationen zum Autor Ali Tawfik Al Sadik is senior economist and project manager at the Dubai Economic Council.
