The ideal introduction to the history of modern Oman from the
eighteenth century to the present, this book combines the most
recent scholarship on Omani history with insights drawn from a
close analysis of the politics and international relations of
contemporary Oman. Jeremy Jones and Nicholas Ridout offer a
distinctive new approach to Omani history, building on postcolonial
thought and integrating the study of politics and culture. The book
addresses key topics including Oman's historical cosmopolitanism,
the distinctive role of Omani Islam in the country's social and
political life, Oman's role in the global economy of the nineteenth
century, insurrection and revolution in the twentieth century, the
role of Sultan Qaboos in the era of oil and Oman's unique regional
and diplomatic perspective on contemporary issues.
A comprehensive study of Oman presenting a portrait of a nation
through its diplomacy. For Oman, the idea of diplomacy refers not
only to the country's interactions in the global community, but
also to the way in which Omani life itself is shaped by principles
and practices of social and political engagement that are
essentially diplomatic. Such principles are grounded in ideals of
tact and tolerance that have developed over a long historical
period. This is therefore a cultural history: an historical account
of the formation of a distinctive Omani culture. It argues that
this culture is where Oman's contemporary foreign policy has been
nurtured, and that it is in this culture that a specific conception
and practice of diplomacy has been developed. Key Features *the
most comprehensive history in English of Oman's international
relations *draws upon key research into Omani religious and social
traditions, and ethnographic studies of language and social
customs. *provides a perspective which places Oman at its centre,
rather than as a background actor in broader colonial narratives,
Cold War calculations or global concerns over the relationship
between Islam and the West *presents an account of Oman's
contemporary behind-the-scenes role in relation to Iranian US
relations, and the Middle East peace process *the first book to
connect Oman's international relations with considerations of Omani
history, culture and social organisation
From colonial narratives and Cold War calculations to Iranian-US
relations and the Middle East peace process, Oman has played an
essential role in global diplomacy and international relations. For
Oman, the idea of diplomacy refers not only to the country's
interactions in the global community, but also to how Omani life
itself is shaped by principles and practices of social and
political engagement that are essentially diplomatic. Drawing on
key research into Omani religious and social traditions, and
ethnographic studies into Omani language and customs, this is the
first book to connect Oman's international relations to its
history, culture and social organisation.
