Abu Dhabi and the Art of Diplomacy
In this episode of the “Arab Digest Podcast,” Middle East analyst Ali Bakir looks at the diplomatic approach of the United Arab Emirates.
Arab Digest editor William Law is joined by Dr. Ali Bakir, a geopolitical and security analyst at Qatar University’s Ibn Khaldoon Center for Humanities and Social Sciences.
On the table is a discussion about the UAE’s diplomatic initiative in Syria. They talk about how “Little Sparta” is curbing its military adventures in favor of soft-power approaches aimed at relationship building with, amongst others, Iran.
