Government communication is increasingly one of the most visible aspects of political communication. As part of the longitudinal study that has been carried out since 2016 on the communication of the government of Dubai and the United Arab Emirates, in particular on the Ministry of Happiness, it was considered that the 50-year Charter, as a legacy document of governance, should undoubtedly be part our study. In this paper, the content analysis of the 50-year Charter is performed with the purpose of understanding, on the one hand, the main political concepts contained therein and, on the other, the approach to Happiness and Positivity in that document.
