Die rapiden urbanen Entwicklungen weltweit sind unmittelbar verbunden mit virtuell-medialen Präsentationsformen von Architektur, die die reale Präsenz vorwegnehmen, auf diese einwirken oder mitunter überlagern. Konzentriert auf die Entwicklung der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate differenziert und perspektiviert Gerhard Martin Burs die verschiedenen Ebenen dieses Phänomens zwischen Entwurf, Visualisierung, Realisierung und Präsentation. Seine Studie leistet nicht nur einen Beitrag zur Architektur- und Medientheorie, sondern trägt auch bei zu einem besseren Verständnis des Spannungsverhältnisses, das sich in einer globalisierten Gesellschaft zwischen virtuellen und physischen Räumen abzeichnet. Besprochen in: Fraunhofer IRB, 3 (2016) Bauwelt, 33 (2016)

For over 150 years, from 1820 up to the foundation of the United Arab Emirates in 1971, Britain and the emirates of the eastern Arabian Peninsula were linked by a relationship that was unique when compared to colonial models exercised elsewhere. From the signing of the General Treaty with the Arab Tribes of the Gulf in 1820, through to the oil and aviation concession agreements penned during the mid- to late-20th century, formal treaties and agreements with the rulers of the various emirates formed the basis of Britain's long influence in the region, and are discussed in detail in this study. It also explores the evolution of the area's first security force in the early 1950s - the Trucial Oman Levies (TOL), which played a key role in the security and development of the emirates.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation of seven emirates (principalities): Abu Dhabi, the oil-rich capital of the federation; Dubai, its free-trading commercial hub; and the five smaller and less wealthy emirates of Sharjah, Ajman, Fujayrah, Umm al-Qaywayn, and Ras al-Khaymah. The UAE's relatively open borders and economy have won praise from advocates of expanded freedoms in the Middle East while producing financial excesses, social ills such as human trafficking, and opportunity for UAE-based Iranian businesses to try to circumvent international sanctions. The social and economic freedoms have not translated into significant political change; the UAE government remains under the control of a small circle of leaders who allow citizen participation primarily through traditional methods of consensus-building. To date, these mechanisms, economic wealth, and reverence for established leaders have enabled the UAE to avoid wide-scale popular unrest. Since 2006, the government has increased formal popular participation in governance through a public selection process for half the membership of its consultative body, the Federal National Council (FNC). But, particularly since the Arab uprisings that began in 2011, there has been an increase in domestic criticism of the unchallenged power and privileges of the UAE ruling elite as well as the spending of large amounts of funds on elaborate projects that cater to tourists. The leadership has resisted any dramatic or rapid further opening of the political process, and it is becoming increasingly aggressive in preventing the rise of Muslim Brotherhood- linked Islamist, as well as secular opposition movements. The crackdown is drawing increased criticism from human rights groups. This book examines the UAE's 2012 human rights and religious freedom reports; its problem with human trafficking; the economic investment climate; and relations with the U.S.
