However, the UAE was keen on building diplomatic relations with all countries in the recent past and is progressively becoming more liberal and tolerant.The UAE signed the historic Abraham Accord with Israel in September 2020.

Since September 2020, several transactions have been signed between Israeli and Emirati firms in different fields, valued at tens of millions of dollars. On the anniversary of the agreements, the volume of trade between Israel and the Emirates amounted to more than $ 100 million per month. The Abraham Accord has paved the way, is gradually improving the relationships in the region, and will slowly but surely lead to better peace and economic prosperity of the region.

El papel de las relaciones públicas en la gestión de la comunicación es innegable ya que permite una correcta relación con los públicos de una organización. Así, esta gestión debe ser estratégica como ha sido señalado por numerosos investigadores en la disciplina. Y en el ámbito institucional todavía es más complejo por la relevancia social de las instituciones. Este estudio explora la evolución las estrategias comunicativas y las herramientas adoptadas por la Casa de SM el Rey del año 2011 a 2021 con el objetivo de comprobar si ha existido o no una evolución en el uso de estrategias y herramientas de comunicación y relaciones públicas. Se analizan dos etapas. La primera, en la que la Jefatura del Estado corresponde a D. Juan Carlos I (2011- 2014) y la segunda etapa, que corresponde a D. Felipe VI (2014-2021). Se ha realizado un análisis de contenido denoticias relacionadas con la Casa de SM el Rey en los principales diarios nacionales por difusión y de los actos oficiales y los comunicados de prensa difundidos a través de la web oficial de Casa Real. Además, se han realizado entrevistas en profundidad con expertos en la materia, así como a su anterior responsable de comunicación, D. Javier Ayuso. Los resultados de la investigación apuntan a un doble cambio estratégico en la gestión de la comunicación: a) De carácter estratégico. La comunicación es más proactiva y trata de mostrar una imagen de transparencia y gestión correcta de lo público. La Institución ha pasado de tener como mensajes comunicativos "la concordia, reconciliación, convivencia y consenso" a los de "honestidad, transparencia económica, cercanía y modernización". b) De carácter formal. Se trata de establecer una comunicación bidireccional con sus públicos, modernizando sus herramientas de comunicación, sin embargo, se percibe aún un control unidireccional del mensaje en las plataformas digitales lo que no facilita en mayor medida, esa cercanía con las nuevas generaciones.

Die Autoren diskutieren einleitend die Frage, ob die Schrumpfung eine Herausforderung oder Chance für die Stadtentwicklung darstellt. Sie geben anschließend einen Überblick über den demographischen Wandel in Australien und die Muster der Schrumpfung in ländlichen Zentren und in Industrieregionen, um dann am Fallbeispiel der Stadt Mount Isa die Innovationsmaßnahmen in schrumpfenden Industriestädten genauer zu untersuchen. Sie zeigen, dass die Schrumpfung zum einen das Ergebnis der Abkopplung wissensintensiver Unternehmenstätigkeiten ist, die von den Firmen an den Industriestandorten aktiv betrieben wird. Während die Unternehmen wachsen, indem sie die globalen Wissensnetzwerke nutzen, schrumpfen gleichzeitig die Städte, weil sie vom globalen Wissen und von der Wirkung dieses Wissens in anderen Unternehmen und Organisationen abgeschnitten sind. Schrumpfende Industriestädte bilden zum anderen den Spezialfall einer Konzernstadt mit einem abgekoppelten regionalen Innovationssystem aufgrund der großen Bevölkerungsfluktuation und der Mobilität des Kapitals und der Arbeitsplätze. Die Autoren zeigen darüber hinaus, dass die Untersuchung schrumpfender Städte sowie der Innovationsstrategien und alternativen Ansätze zum gegenwärtigen Planungsparadigma des Wachstums unter der Perspektive möglicher "Best Practices" nur schwer zu verallgemeinern ist, denn Lösungsansätze sind immer mit der jeweiligen Geschichte und dem landesspezifischen Wirtschaftskontext eines Ortes verknüpft.
