A view of Dubai, the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates, at sunrise.
COVID-19 Risks Robbing Dubai of Its Economic and Political Autonomy
By sapping Dubai's economic growth, the COVID-19 pandemic will also ultimately erode the emirate's political and economic independence from neighboring Abu Dhabi. Without the tools and funding needed to support its own recovery, Dubai will likely be forced to rely on another bailout from wealthy Abu Dhabi, which could impact Dubai's development plans, especially in tourism and finance.

U.S.: A Chipmaker's Patent Lawsuits Risk Upending the High-Tech Industry
Legal action taken by U.S.-based chipmaker GlobalFoundries has the potential to disrupt supply chains for manufacturers of a variety of consumer electronic devices, including heavy hitters such as Apple Inc. In multiple lawsuits filed Aug. 27 in the United States and Germany and in a complaint filed with the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC), GlobalFoundries accuses rival Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) of infringing on its patents by using its protected methods and equipment to manufacture certain types of semiconductors. It is seeking an import ban of the chips made by TSMC outside the United States using those processes and of any devices containing those chips.

Abu Dhabi is fighting to become an investment center, both within the United Arab Emirates and in the Gulf Cooperation Council.
How Abu Dhabi Plans to Stay on Top
Like its neighbors in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, has spent the past two years contending with low oil prices. To endure the oil slump, the emirate has taken a similar approach to that of other GCC countries, proposing a rash of reforms to restructure its energy and financial sectors and to attract foreign investment and development. Though Abu Dhabi's plan is rife with adjustments and policies that will draw expatriate talent, economically it is losing more and more ground to rival emirate Dubai. Moving forward, Abu Dhabi's political primacy will remain unmatched, buttressed by the far-reaching influence of the al-Nahyan royal family, which founded the United Arab Emirates and has ruled it for 300 years. But unless Abu Dhabi can achieve close to the same economic diversification that Dubai has, its power in the country may wane. Moreover, as Abu

Growing demand for electricity has pushed the Middle East and North Africa to develop renewable energy sources like solar power.
A Bright Future for Solar Power in the Middle East
Deserts are seemingly obvious places to locate solar technology. In fact, the swath of desert stretching from the Atlantic Ocean, across North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, to the Persian Gulf has vast solar potential. Yet only now has a combination of demographic pressure, low oil prices and technological readiness primed Middle Eastern and North African states for more investment in solar power. For countries such as Jordan and Morocco, renewable energy may offer a path toward greater energy independence. Others, such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, are interested in exporting renewable energy technology and financing solar projects abroad.
