Abstract

Islamic awareness, which in 2011, introduced most Arab countries in West Asia and North Africa, introduced the region to a modern stage, which constituted the change in the order and behavior of some regional actors. In this regard, the United Arab Emirates tries to appear in the light of the developments from the Islamic awakening in spite of the inherent shortcomings to appear as a great actor. The UAE military intervention in Bahrain, its military cooperation with NATO forces in the overthrow of Ghazzafi regime, attending an international coalition attack under the leadership of the United States on the pretext and claim to fight ISIS, the active participation in the coalition of the Arab forces attacking Yemen, revealing hostile positions It is compared to Qatar after exposing the contents of the ambassador to the country in the United States, and ... signs of the change in the behavior of the UAE in the new conditions and the resolve of the state of the state to promote its place as a regional actor. The present paper plans to examine the UAE's long emirate step in the framework of aggressive realism in the context of the United Arab Emirates to convert to a regional actor in the new Middle East.
