Is Dubai a Money-laundering Hub? | Inside Story

With its skyscrapers, luxury villas, and a high concentration of millionaires and billionaires, Dubai's rise to global city and business hub captured the world's attention.

It is one of seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates… an absolute monarchy long ruled by the Al Maktoum family.

The rapid development of the city has made it one of the fastest growing economies in the world.

And it is found that those who make money out of wars, who finance terror, or are involved in drug-trafficking use Dubai’s real-estate market as a haven for money-laundering.

Is the Drive to Modernise Saudi Arabia Taking a Wrong Turn? | Inside Story

Female activists continue to be arrested in Saudi Arabia - two in the last three days. Rights groups say Mayaa al-Zahrani was detained for her posts on social media - expressing support for Nouf Abdul-Aziz al-Jerawi, who is also locked up.

How Does Direct Democracy Work in Liechtenstein? – VisualPolitik EN

Despite being a constitutional monarchy, most of the political decisions in this Principality are done through referendums. This includes economic policy, social spending and even… Citizenship!

Even the right to self-determination can be guaranteed by referendum. This means that any of the 11 municipalities inside of Liechtenstein can hold a popular vote to decide whether they want to stay in the country or become an independent nation. Sounds pretty crazy, right?

How is all of this possible? How can you manage to guarantee such a stable political system when people can vote in any crazy law they want with a referendum? Well… This is what we were wondering here at VisualPolitik.

And we figured the best way to answer these questions is by going to the country and asking. So, we did just that!
