Globalization and Sustainability - Ecological, Social and Cultural Perspectives, Dorian Salatic, Editör, IntechOpen, London, ss.64-88, 2024
In our globalized world, the concepts of
cultural assimilation and multicultural integration have gained significant
attention, especially in regions experiencing a surge in cultural diversity.
The coexistence and interaction of diverse cultures are essential for fostering
social harmony and well-being. This phenomenon is especially evident in areas
where rigid local and religious cultures coexist, often sparking discussions on
identity and belonging. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) serves as a remarkable
example of a nation navigating cultural change through policies that preserve
its local heritage while seamlessly integrating diverse elements within a
harmonious multicultural framework. This study explores how the UAE has
successfully embraced globalization while safeguarding its values, culture, and
identity. Despite some criticisms and challenges, the UAE's achievements in
this regard deserve recognition. Additionally, we'll discuss Ibn Khaldun's
theories on the transformations that occur when Bedouin societies transition to
urban life, illustrating them with examples from the UAE.
