Abstract

This article analyses the UAE's security-led foreign policy engagement within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). I have interpreted the UAE's foreign policy strategy as one that employs Joel Migdal's State in Society model, whereby informal networks and communities are primarily utilised for the implementation of foreign policy engagement. In this paper I discuss the justification for this hypothesis, and then illustrate my argument through case studies of the UAE's engagement with Libya, Yemen, and Somalia.

后阿拉伯之春中东和北非地区的小国家安全参与：以阿拉伯联合酋长国为例

摘要

本文分析了阿联酋在中东和北非 (MENA) 内以安全为主导的外交政策参与。我将阿联酋的外交政策战略解释为采用 Joel Migdal 社会模式的国家战略，其中非正式网络和社区主要用于实施外交政策参与。在本文中，我讨论了这一假设的理由，然后通过阿联酋与利比亚、也门和索马里交往的案例研究来说明我的论点。
