From the Paper:

"The Arab world has long been the source of oil and natural gas to the entire world. In being so the emirate has thrived for long as a world leader and a conglomerate of oil rich nations. Globalization has on its part been a source of extensive influence in many different spheres; economically, socially, politically, culturally or militarily. Largely a desert dominated topography, the nations of the United Arab Emirates have thrived on oil and energy related foreign trade that has bolstered their economic and political status across the globe and has placed them on par with superpowers of the world as in the likes of the United States, The United Kingdom, and The European Union and so on. The vast and untapped potential hidden in the expanses of the desert hemisphere has long been the focal point of observation and interest of many a western nation who wanted to play a dominant role in exerting its presence in the region."
