Oman's Transformation after 1970
Series:
Author:
Oman's 1970 coup launched a new political and economic structure that was created by and for Sultan Qaboos. The initially haphazard construction matured into a durable structure that continues under Sultan Haitham. This work details the early construction of the Qabusid state in the 1970s-1980s, emphasizing the interplay between personalities and the process of institutionalization. The narrative continues to the present demonstrating the resilience of the Qaboosid system.
J.E. Peterson (Ph.D. Johns Hopkins SAIS) has taught at various universities in the US and France. He has published a dozen books and some 40 scholarly articles on the Arabian Peninsula. This is his fifth book on Oman.
