Abstract
Since August, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been on a comprehensive regional tour that has involved Abu Dhabi reconciling with Qatar, strategically re-engaging Turkey, shaking hands with the Bashar Assad regime in Syria and officially reaching out to Iran. The diplomatic soft power stunts are underwritten by a neo-mercantilist grand strategy that has been the backbone of Emirati successes since before the eruption of Arab Spring protests in 2010-11.
