Times are changing for Arab lands (8)
I believe the answer is:
emirates
'arab lands' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'times are changing' is the wordplay.
'changing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'times'+'are'='timesare'
'timesare' with letters rearranged gives 'EMIRATES'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for emirates that I've seen before include "in the airline business" , "ie Master (anag.)" , "Abu Dhabi and Dubai, say" , "Territory of independent rulers in the Islamic world" , "Federation of Arab states" .)
