"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
