A small town on a sandy creek half a century ago, Dubai is now the
largest trading, commercial, leisure and transport entrepot in the
Gulf and wider region. This book explains the reasons for the
emergence of Dubai and its distinctive development trajectory,
arguing that the decision, in the 1970s, to invest in
infrastructure made possible by shipping containerization laid the
foundations for its future expansion. The book shows that in
contrast to its competitors' hydrocarbon rentier economic model,
Dubai's creation and expansion of ports and airports, together with
'value-added' logistics and business-friendly enhancements, were
used to out-compete regional rivals. Drawing on a range of primary
and secondary sources, including interviews with logistics
business-people, government records, memoirs, it fills a
significant lacuna in the history of Dubai's development and
emergence as a global trade hub.
