"A large number of Western academics specializing in Arab Gulf affairs are captives of rigid theories and stereotypes. Their reading of the region suffers from underestimation and a pre-belief that our development and stability mimic Western experiences and their historical context, I see examples of this in their reading of Saudi Arabia and the UAE," said Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Dr. Anwar Gargash. ".
He added in a tweet on his account on Twitter: "There is no doubt that these academic readings of the Gulf were influenced by theories that have spread during the past two decades in some research centers, theories linking the concepts of the left and the rise of political party Islam and liberal liberal democracy, and events have proven that this intellectual bias is right "
.
He continued: "The region undoubtedly needs an approach of its own; an independent governance that frame good governance independently of Western stereotypes. Many of these concepts and practices exist in the administration of the region's affairs, but a documented reference and an inclusive framework must be included and guided by it."
