Since the publication of his two books, United Arab Emirates: A Study in Survival, in 2005; and Dubai: the Vulnerability of Success, during the summer of 2008, Dr Christopher Davidson of the reputable Durham University, has taken on the mantle of an authority on the impact of the global economic downturn on Dubai and the UAE.
Dr Davidson is widely quoted in most references to the UAE in the news media and his timely book on Dubai has become an instant success. It is almost a best-seller of sorts and is probably ready for a second print in less than a year.
What makes Dr Davidson appealing to the media is his strongly critical view and bleak assessment of the Dubai model.
