This dissertation explores the emergence of "the national" as a spatial category in the context of three major transformations in the mid- to late twentieth century United Arab Emirates (UAE) - first, increasing integration of the lower Gulf region into circuits of capitalism as a result of oil production; second, the intensification of relationships with the Arab Middle East and restructuring of Gulf-Indian Ocean connections in an era of decolonization; and third, the decline of a highly decentralized mid-20 th century political economy in which exchange was governed by communal and moral relations and its replacement by a more capitalist mode of economic life in the course of the 1960s and 1970s. A focus on Ras al-Khaimah, normally considered a peripheral location, highlights the contestations, spatial inequalities, and oppositional politics that characterized the development process in the Trucial States and early UAE.
