A comparative study of the effects of globalization in the fields of economy, political structure and political culture of the UAE and Saudi Arabia

In this article, a comparative study of the impact of the globalization phenomenon on various aspects including economic dimensions, political structure and political culture in the countries of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates has been done. In fact, this article has sought to answer the question of what the effects of the phenomenon of globalization has have in different dimensions in the drawers of the UAE and Saudi Arabia? The obtained results show that globalization has not had a significant impact on the political structure of Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

One of the most important reasons for the lack of influence of the political structure of the UAE from globalization is the non-native population structure and the functional legitimacy of the UAE government in the economic and welfare arena. Moreover, the economic growth and the development of the UAE can be considered more affected by globalization. This is the case in Saudi Arabia as well.

Although the phenomenon of globalization has been effective in economic growth, the use of appropriate economic policies, especially in the field of growth and the development of non-oil incomes have also been effective on the economic development of this country. Changes in the political culture of the UAE and Saudi Arabia, especially the UAE, are taking place at a faster pace under the influence of the phenomenon of globalization and with access to communication tools on a global scale.
