Abstract This paper assesses the strategies of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to instill leadership values and to encourage youth to take leadership roles as a solution for the future sustainable economic growth. In recent years, the UAE government has stepped up initiatives to encourage the Emirati youth to become leaders, as seen in the establishment of, among others, the UAE Youth Global Initiative, the Ministry of Youth Affairs, the Emirates Youth Council, the National Youth Agenda, and the UAE Youth Programme launched under the UAE Government Leaders Programme (UAEGLP). Such steps are accompanied by country’s support for high quality education on a tertiary level available to every citizen willing to pursue their education. This article examines in what ways such attempts at social engineering may provide solutions to the country’s future needs and serve as a model abroad. The research was conducted using data collected from governmental agencies, and interviews with representatives of youth government initiatives.
摘要本文评估了阿拉伯联合酋长国(阿联酋)灌输领导价值观和鼓励年轻人发挥领导作用的战略,以此作为未来可持续经济增长的解决方案。近年来,阿联酋政府加强了鼓励阿联酋青年成为领导者的举措,其中包括建立阿联酋青年全球倡议、青年事务部、阿联酋青年理事会、国家青年议程以及在阿联酋政府领导人计划(ueglp)下启动的阿联酋青年计划。这些措施伴随着国家对高质量高等教育的支持,每个愿意接受教育的公民都可以接受高等教育。本文探讨了这种社会工程的尝试可能以何种方式为该国未来的需求提供解决方案,并作为国外的典范。这项研究使用了从政府机构收集的数据,并采访了青年政府倡议的代表。

undertaken in pursuit of other objectives? Does protection against rival religious doctrines and practices work the same way as protection against physical harm and the destruction of homes and livelihoods? The latter probably necessitates the creation of a secure territory, but does the former do so as well? More important, is it useful to meld Tilly’s theory of generating threats and offering protection together with recent theories of securitization drawn from the discipline of international relations? One could set out to formulate an innovative analysis of the securitization process that incorporates the logic of the protection racket, but such an argument would stand sharply at odds with existing scholarship on the topic. It is to Ben Rich’s great credit that Securitising Identity inspires such scintillating reservations, whose resolution may enable future explorers to revise Tilly’s theory so that it can explain not only the eras of Saudi history for which we have the least information but also those that we think we know the best.
是为了追求其他目标?对敌对宗教教义和实践的保护与对人身伤害和对家园和生计的破坏的保护是一样的吗?后者可能需要建立一个安全的领土,但前者也需要这样做吗?更重要的是,将蒂利关于制造威胁和提供保护的理论与最近从国际关系学科中得出的证券化理论结合起来是否有用?一个人可以着手对证券化过程进行创新分析,并将保护费的逻辑纳入其中,但这样的论点将与该主题的现有学术大相径庭。《身份证券化》激发了如此精彩的保留意见,这是本·里奇的伟大成就,它的解决方案可能使未来的探索者能够修改蒂利的理论,这样它不仅可以解释我们所知最少的沙特历史时期,还可以解释我们自认为最了解的沙特历史时期。

The Contemporary Artworld of the Arabian Peninsula in a Globalized Context 全球化背景下的阿拉伯半岛当代艺术世界
Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-01-02 DOI: 10.1080/21534764.2021.1937822

Abstract This article analyzes the production and presentation of artworks of three countries of the Gulf Region –– Qatar, the UAE and Saudi Arabia –– to evaluate its place and potential in the globalized artworld. The Gulf region is a small but significant part of the global artworld with high potential for further development. Art globalization in the Gulf began to develop only in the 2000s –– from about 2006 in the UAE, followed by a second wave in Qatar five years later. A third wave is rising with the increasingly international exposure of Saudi Art. The article examines which factors are essential for participation in a globalized art world and whether the region enjoys international recognition on the global stage. A composite artworld ecosystem model comprising institutions, artists and their artworks, commercial entities and government was conceived on a philosophical and sociological basis within a historical and geopolitical framework. The roles of the museum, biennials, art galleries and art fairs, are converging in many respects. All the nodes of the artworld ecosystem are required for globalization, with participation in the biennial model being the most important factor, being more flexible than the museal institutions in funding and programming. To reach a wider audience, the art fair model could be more relevant than the more esoteric biennial format. The Gulf region’s patrons possess strong motivations for supporting the arts of the region internationally. In addition, the desire to enter the global cultural world through the promotion of art museums as a tourist destination is a strong motivator for governments.
本文分析了海湾地区三个国家——卡塔尔、阿联酋和沙特阿拉伯的艺术作品的生产和呈现,以评估其在全球化艺术世界中的地位和潜力。海湾地区是全球艺术界的一个小而重要的部分,具有进一步发展的巨大潜力。海湾地区的艺术全球化直到本世纪头十年才开始发展——从2006年左右的阿联酋开始,五年后在卡塔尔出现了第二波。随着沙特艺术越来越多地在国际上曝光,第三波浪潮正在兴起。本文探讨了哪些因素是参与全球化艺术世界的必要因素,以及该地区是否在全球舞台上享有国际认可。一个由机构、艺术家及其作品、商业实体和政府组成的复合艺术世界生态系统模型是在历史和地缘政治框架内的哲学和社会学基础上构想出来的。博物馆、双年展、艺术画廊和艺术博览会的角色在许多方面正在趋同。艺术世界生态系统的所有节点都需要全球化,参与双年展模式是最重要的因素,在资金和规划方面比博物馆机构更灵活。为了吸引更广泛的观众,艺术博览会的模式可能比更深奥的双年展更有意义。海湾地区的赞助人有强烈的动机在国际上支持该地区的艺术。此外,通过推动艺术博物馆作为旅游目的地进入全球文化世界的愿望是政府的强大动力。

A Call For Solidarity:Pro-Palestinian Activity in the Trucial States, 1936–39 呼吁团结:战争国家的亲巴勒斯坦活动,1936 - 1939

Abstract While the contemporary political and economic ties between the Gulf region and the Levant are widely acknowledged, the deeper historical roots of this modern relationship are rarely recognized in light of persistent narratives of the Gulf’s relative isolation before the discovery of its hydrocarbon wealth. Building on a study of the British archival record, this article contributes to a challenge of such narratives by examining one of the earliest instances in which mutual ties became manifest: the political and financial support for the Arabs of Palestine by the population of the Trucial States (the contemporary United Arab Emirates) in the interwar years. As is shown, the development of pro-Palestinian sentiment was enabled not only by an earlier expansion of education in the Trucial States, but also by rapidly developing communication links between the Gulf and the wider Arab world. As a result of these developments, the population of the Trucial States was subject to –– and proved receptive to –– calls for Arab and Muslim solidarity emanating from Palestine in the late 1930s.
虽然海湾地区和黎凡特之间的当代政治和经济联系得到了广泛认可,但这种现代关系的更深层次的历史根源却很少得到承认,因为在发现其碳氢化合物财富之前,海湾地区一直处于相对孤立的状态。在对英国档案记录进行研究的基础上,本文通过考察相互关系变得明显的最早实例之一,对这种叙述提出了挑战:在两次世界大战之间的岁月里,特鲁西尔国家(今阿拉伯联合酋长国)的人口对巴勒斯坦阿拉伯人的政治和财政支持。如所示,亲巴勒斯坦情绪的发展不仅是由于早些时候在特鲁西尔国家扩大了教育,而且也是由于海湾与更广泛的阿拉伯世界之间迅速发展了通讯联系。由于这些事态发展,特鲁西尔国家的人民不得不服从--而且事实证明是愿意接受-- 1930年代后期从巴勒斯坦发出的阿拉伯和穆斯林团结的呼吁。

Abstract The reconciliation of Ibn al-Kalbī’s ninth-century CE text of on pre-Islamic Arabia with modern scholarship offers certain insights to religious practices in the Arabian Peninsula from prehistory through the seventh cenury CE This study integrates his early Book of Idols into existing archaeological and anthropological studies about diverse aspects of pre-Islamic religion and ritual: diverse forms of litholatry; pilgrimage rituals; and the social economy of sacrifice and rain rogation rituals. Al-Kalbī’s text is recognized rightly for its essential character as a product from a distinct cultural milieu, early Islamic Kūfa, distant by time, geography, and culture from the pre-Islamic culture of Arabian antiquity of the peninsula and particularly the ancient kingdoms of Yemen in the southwest. Nevertheless, this article analyzes this contested source for several of its alignments with recent archaeological and anthropological findings.
伊本·卡尔布(Ibn al- kalb)公元9世纪关于前伊斯兰阿拉伯的文本与现代学术的协调,为从史前到公元7世纪阿拉伯半岛的宗教习俗提供了一定的见解。这项研究将他早期的《偶像之书》与现有的考古和人类学研究结合起来,研究了前伊斯兰宗教和仪式的各个方面:各种形式的石器;朝圣的仪式;以及社会经济的祭祀和祈雨仪式。al - kalb ' s的文本被正确地认为是一个独特的文化环境的产物,早期伊斯兰Kūfa,在时间、地理和文化上都与阿拉伯半岛的前伊斯兰文化,特别是西南的也门古代王国相去甚远。然而,本文分析了这一有争议的来源,因为它与最近的考古和人类学发现有几个一致之处。

reconciliation that goes beyond op-ed pieces in international newspapers, a favorite tool of Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif. This is a book of tremendous value to readers at all levels, including specialists of the Gulf region and the Middle East, academics and others interested in international relations, security studies, and conflict resolution, and informed readers wishing to acquire a deeper understanding of the region and the Middle East more broadly. It is accessible and free of jargon, yet in-depth and full of solid analysis. Most importantly, it is well-researched and is meticulously objective, to the point of explaining why the names of the two countries appear in the book in the order that they do (for alphabetical reasons). As with every book, there is room for improvement. Apart from interviews with experts and figures involved in the issue, which is extremely valuable, there are no sources used that are in Arabic or in Farsi. Most likely, such sources either do not exist or are far and few between. If that is indeed the case, it should have been mentioned. There are also discussions, such as the history of the rivalry, that could have benefited from greater depth and detail. But neither of these minor criticisms really detract from the book’s invaluable contributions to the literature. Iran and Saudi Arabia: Taming a Chaotic Conflict is a solid work of scholarship, whose significance goes far beyond the academy. One only hopes that policymakers in Tehran and Riyadh read it and take its lessons to heart.
伊朗外交部长扎里夫最喜欢的工具是在国际报纸上发表评论文章。这是一本对各个层次的读者都有巨大价值的书,包括海湾地区和中东的专家、学者和其他对国际关系、安全研究和冲突解决感兴趣的人,以及希望更深入地了解该地区和更广泛的中东的读者。它通俗易懂,没有行话,但深入,充满了扎实的分析。最重要的是,这本书研究得很充分,非常客观,解释了为什么这两个国家的名字在书中出现的顺序是这样的(出于字母顺序的原因)。每本书都有改进的空间。除了对与该问题有关的专家和人物的采访(这是极有价值的)之外,没有使用阿拉伯语或波斯语的资料来源。最有可能的是,这样的资源要么不存在,要么相隔甚远。如果情况确实如此,就应该提出来。还有一些讨论,比如双方竞争的历史,本可以从更深入和详细的讨论中受益。但这些小小的批评都没有真正减损这本书对文学的宝贵贡献。《伊朗和沙特阿拉伯:驯服一场混乱的冲突》是一部坚实的学术著作,其意义远远超出了学术范畴。人们只希望德黑兰和利雅得的政策制定者能读到这本书,并将其教训铭记于心。

Contesting Narratives of Victimization in Migration to the Arab Gulf States: A Reading of Mia Alvar’s In the Country 移民到阿拉伯海湾国家的受害叙事之争——解读米娅·阿尔瓦的《在这个国家》

Abstract The experiences of migrant workers in the Arab Gulf States tend to be understood through narratives of victimization. This article aims to problematize such narratives through an analysis of three short stories set in the Gulf by Filipina-American writer Mia Alvar from her debut collection In the Country (2015). Mapping out ways in which these stories depart from narratives that revolve around themes of exploitation and exclusion, the article demonstrates that fiction can critically engage with the tension between the need to represent and make visible the reality of migrant experiences in the Gulf, and the need to question the essentialism and inflexibility through which they tend to be framed. Using the insights of recent anthropological and ethnographic research on the Gulf’s non-citizen population, I argue that Alvar’s stories both expose the structural inequality that facilitates victimization and pave the way for a more nuanced understanding of migrant experiences in the Gulf.
阿拉伯海湾国家移民工人的经历往往通过受害叙事来理解。本文旨在通过分析菲律宾裔美国作家Mia Alvar在其处女作《in the Country》(2015)中以海湾为背景的三篇短篇小说,对这种叙事提出质疑。这篇文章描绘了这些故事与围绕剥削和排斥主题的叙事的不同之处,表明小说可以批判性地处理海湾地区移民经历的现实表现和可见性的需求之间的紧张关系,以及质疑他们往往被框框的本质主义和僵化性的需求。根据最近对海湾地区非公民人口的人类学和人种学研究,我认为Alvar的故事既揭示了助长受害者的结构性不平等,也为更细致地理解海湾地区移民的经历铺平了道路。

This article aims to problematize such narratives through an analysis of three short stories set in the Gulf by Filipina-American writer Mia Alvar from her debut collection In the Country (2015). Mapping out ways in which these stories depart from narratives that revolve around themes of exploitation and exclusion, the article demonstrates that fiction can critically engage with the tension between the need to represent and make visible the reality of migrant experiences in the Gulf, and the need to question the essentialism and inflexibility through which they tend to be framed. Using the insights of recent anthropological and ethnographic research on the Gulf’s non-citizen population, I argue that Alvar’s stories both expose the structural inequality that facilitates victimization and pave the way for a more nuanced understanding of migrant experiences in the Gulf.","PeriodicalId":37102,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Arabian Studies","volume":"86 2","pages":"118 - 136"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72434890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
