Abstract

This article departs from the phenomenon of tolerance by the United Arab Emirates towards global citizens who live through the policy of legalizing alcohol, which was previously an act that was criminalized by the government which was heavily influenced by Islamic values. This observation uses a qualitative method with a descriptive model that takes information from several previous literature as well as articles and reports in the media that directly discuss related phenomena. This research uses the concept of national interests as a thinking approach in finding answers regarding the strong reasons for the United Arab Emirates to implement tolerance through this policy. The results of the observations provide an answer that the reason the United Arab Emirates issued a policy of legalizing alcohol freely was as a form of real execution of the country which wants to build a new image as a world tolerant country that accepts the differences of its immigrant citizens, especially culturally living with alcohol which is seen as very contrary to local norms. This policy is of course influenced by the main factor of the United Arab Emirates as a tourist country which has a very large migrant population that exceeds its own local population. By using a national interest approach, of course there is a goal that makes the country implement this policy, which is none other than tourism purposes. Certainly this research will be an informant regarding the unique things implemented by the United Arab Emirates.

Abstract

This article examines how changes in local norms resulting from the legalization of alcoholic beverages, which were previously strictly prohibited and even classified as activities considered serious crimes in the country, are assumed to have changed into social values in life. In analyzing this incident, the author uses the perspectives of three experts, including Mac Kercher, who considers this phenomenon as a way of thinking. He argues that the existing international community will potentially influence the culture of life of local communities in the country. The author then uses the concept of national interest and mercantilism as additional approaches. In this case, the author shows that changes in local norms due to the legalization of alcoholic beverages are driven by four national ambitions. namely increasing the number of tourists to increase global tourism potential and meet the needs of the majority. The number of global tourists coming mainly from Western countries, namely the European region where alcohol consumption is very high, especially Western Europe, as well as the need for efforts to transition the economic pillars and the benefits of the name change plan. namely from oil and gas countries to non- oil and gas countries, especially in the tourism sector. Finally, the recovery of the economy which has been in crisis for a year due to the corona virus pandemic. Keywords: Global Tourism, Local Norms, Alcohol, United Arab Emirates, Legalization
