Based on years of firsthand research, Marc Valeri treats the
political career of Sultan Qaboos as a case study of the social and
political mechanisms that perpetuate authoritarianism in
post-colonial states. He examines the way in which Sultan Qaboos
built and constantly renewed his base in order to meet internal and
external challenges to his power. Valeri also considers what
happens when one part of this model, namely an oil-rent economy,
falters, and the privileges enjoyed by half the population are no
longer tenable. Expanding his focus beyond the state of Oman,
Valeri then evaluates the strategies adopted and challenges faced
by other Arab monarchies in Morocco, Jordan, and the Persian Gulf.
