Book excerpt: At the time of the First World War, Anglo-Arab relations were in their early stages; indeed the Public Record Office index of Foreign Office documents relating to this period lists the names of only three Arab states - Egypt, Muscat and Oman - with the rest of the Arab countries being included either as part of Turkey or in conjunction with other world powers. This underlines the significance of Muscat and Oman at the time, and hence the intense political activity and struggle between Britain, France and a number of Arab players over the Sultanate of Oman. In this book Raghid El-Solh presents key official documents and archive materials drawn from sources available at the India Office Library and Public Records Index which illustrate the manoeuvring that was taking place. Seen through the eyes of British officialdom, the material, presented chronologically in specific subject areas, illustrates primarily the competition for control of the Arab provinces of the defunct Ottoman Empire, particularly in the northern part of the Arab peninsula. Dr El-Solh also focuses on documents relating to domestic affairs, specifically the rebellion against Great Britain and the Sultan instigated by Abdullah bin Hamaid as-Salimi, the leading Ibadi shaikh and historian. He aimed to force the authorities in Muscat to adhere more strictly to Sharia laws and the rule of Ibadism. Finally, to complete the picture of the Sultanate of Oman during the First World War, the editor includes material relating to the financial situation of the Sultanate, the education of the Sultan's son and the formation of the levy corps.

Book Synopsis The Sultanate of Oman by : Miriam Joyce
Download or read book The Sultanate of Oman written by Miriam Joyce and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1995-08-15 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is based on extensive research in British sources and includes material from archives in the United States. The last chapter, which covers the period from 1970, is based on Omani newspapers and interviews with Omani officials conducted in 1994. Throughout the 20th century, Omani rulers were confronted with rebellious tribes and threatened by movements originating outside the sultanate, including Wahhabism, Arab nationalism, and communism. The discovery of oil in the 1960s did not free the Omani people from poverty or seclusion. The Sultan's subjects were only liberated in 1970, when a coup d'etat led by Sayyid Qaboos bin Said, enabled Oman to build a modern infrastructure, join the Arab World and the international community.
Book Synopsis Oman's Foreign Policy by : Majid Al-Khalili
Download or read book Oman's Foreign Policy written by Majid Al-Khalili and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-05-19 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book in more than a decade to look systematically at the foundations and practices of Oman's foreign policy and its impact on the production and distribution of oil. An expert in the history of the Sultanate of Oman, Majid Al-Khalili provides new information and a fresh analysis of the lands bordering the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman. Beginning with an examination the reign of Sultan Qaboos bin Said, as well as the sultanate's geography and how location has influenced its history, Oman's Foreign Policy: Foundation and Practice analyzes Oman's foreign relations from the early 20th century until the beginning of the 21st century, providing the background to recent events. Following an analysis of the sultanate's "renaissance" in the 1970s and 1980s, the book considers how Oman's foreign policy changed in the wake of the 1991 Gulf War. It also examines historic power rivalries in the region, as well as modern conflicts that now include Iran, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. The result is a comprehensive understanding of Oman's place in the Middle East—and its influence upon the world's changing power structure.
Book Synopsis Oman's Insurgencies by : J. E. Peterson
Download or read book Oman's Insurgencies written by J. E. Peterson and published by Saqi. This book was released on 2013-01-02 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oman today is a rapidly modernizing and peaceful country on the fringes of a region in turmoil. It does, however, have a long history of internal strife. In the twentieth century, this strife took the form of two internal conflicts. The Northern Oman or al-Jabal al-Akhdar War of the 1950s was a struggle between the forces of the old tribally based Imamate and the newer Sultanate in the northern part of the country. In the Dhufar War of the 1960s-70s an anti-Sultanate - and later Marxist - front sought secession in the south. J. E. Peterson takes a detailed look at these two wars in the context of insurgency and counter-insurgency warfare. He surveys Oman's transition from a strictly traditional regime controlling only parts of the country to a modern, inclusive state, particularly in terms of security concerns. Peterson analyses the development of the Sultanate's successful responses to security challenges, especially in the creation and evolution of modern armed forces. 'John Peterson provides the nearest we will perhaps ever see of an official history.' David Benest, The British Army Review 'Peterson does an excellent job of developing the thesis that victory in these counter-insurgencies resulted from the two factors of establishing political legitimacy by meeting the local demands of the population and military efforts, which succeeded largely through British support.'

Book Synopsis Historical Dictionary of the Gulf Arab States by : Malcolm C. Peck
Download or read book Historical Dictionary of the Gulf Arab States written by Malcolm C. Peck and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2007-12-20 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition of the Historical Dictionary of the Gulf Arab States comes at a time when the world's attention is riveted on the Middle East. The small states covered in this volume_Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE)_possess about 20 percent of the world's total oil reserves. Beyond the strategic and economic importance conferred upon them by their vast oil reserves, the Gulf Arab states are worthy of attention for the inherent interest of their history and culture. No area of the world has yielded more revealing and exciting archaeological finds in the past few decades than these states. Investigations have brought to light extensive evidence of an important culture as old as Egypt of the Pharaohs or ancient Babylon, which was virtually unknown previously except through rare references in the records of other civilizations. This expanded second edition covers the history of the five countries through a chronology broken down by country, a list of acronyms and abbreviations, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and several hundred cross-referenced dictionary entries on important persons, places, and events of each country. Everything from the Abbasids to Zubarah is covered in this essential reference on this increasingly important region of the world.

Book Synopsis The Sultanate of Oman, 1939-1945 by : Raghīd Ṣulḥ
Download or read book The Sultanate of Oman, 1939-1945 written by Raghīd Ṣulḥ and published by Ithaca Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the period spanning the Second World War intense Military struggles occurred for control of the Arab region, Precipitating the involvement of new Political players on the Arab Stage. Sudden Political and Military changes in the Arab worold also had significant repercussions on the progress of the war in other areas of the conflict. In these years, interference by British resident officials in the internal affairs of the Arab State became marked, sometimes even taking the form of direct political action, such as the forcible removal from office of the Iraqi and Egptian governments which were considered unfriendly to Britain, and initiatives to counter the pressures exerted by the Free French on the nationalists in Syria and Lebanon. As these measures indicate, Britain's Involvement in the affairs of the Arab region from a stronghold in Oman not only became more radical but also expanded in geopolitical terms after 1941, when the British military played a leading role in the expulsion of the pro-Vichy forces from the Levant states, and by doing so gained the upper hand in influencing events there in the face of Free French opposition. Such adtions were taken in the name of security during the Second World War, and as the consequence, by the end of the war, Britain had emerged as the dominant power in the Arab Middle East.
Book Synopsis History of Seyd Said, Sultan of Muscat by : Vincenzo Maurizi
Download or read book History of Seyd Said, Sultan of Muscat written by Vincenzo Maurizi and published by . This book was released on 1819 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History of Seyd Said, Sultan of Muscat is the account by Italian traveler Vincenzo Maurizi of his residence in the Sultanate of Oman in the early 19th century. Maurizi's entertaining and informative narrative is recognized as the first European book devoted entirely to Oman. Using the writings of Carsten Niebuhr (1733-1815) for historical background, the author bases his account on observations made in Oman in 1809-14. Maurizi claims that he served as physician to ruler Saʻid bin Sultan (reigned 1807-56), who seized power in a domestic coup. Saʻid's reign was one of internal dynastic stability, but marked by external threats from the Najd, the Arabian region from which the Wahhabis, followers of Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (died 1826 or 1827), arose to spread their strict interpretation of Islam. Maurizi had access to many court dignitaries, including the ambassador of the Wahhabi sect, whom he interviewed in Muscat about his beliefs. He describes the politics of the country as well as the armed clashes with Wahhabi forces in which, as an officer in Sayyid Saʻid's forces, he took part. Maurizi was well acquainted with the country outside the capital, Muscat, and made ethnographic notes, "derived from my own personal survey, or in default of that, from the best living authorities which it was in my power to procure." Oman also confronted raids from neighboring shaykhdoms. Maurizi's nickname at court was "Shaik Mansur," or "victorious," a direct translation of his Italian first name. He also acquired the sardonic sobriquet Abu Midfaʻ (father of canons), after a ship under his command accidently opened fire on allied forces, killing several men. In his account of Maurizi's life, British scholar Robin Bidwell speculates that he may have been a spy for the French, reporting on Oman's alliance with the British East India Company and on the complex rivalries on the Arabian Peninsula and in the Persian Gulf region. Maurizi writes of himself that he was an "artificial diplomat." It is not known who translated the work from the Italian for publication in 1819 by John Booth in London.
Book Synopsis Oman: the Modernization of the Sultanate by : Calvin H. Allen, Jr
Download or read book Oman: the Modernization of the Sultanate written by Calvin H. Allen, Jr and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-05 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until the 1970s Oman was an isolated, almost medieval kingdom, virtually unknown to the outside world. The 1970 palace coup that brought Sultan Qaboos b. Sa’id Al-Sa’id to power also brought Oman into the twentieth century. Development programmes made modernization a rapid process, and Oman’s location at the entrance to the Straits of Hormuz gave the country an increasing importance to US security interests in the Gulf region. Yet despite modernization, Oman remains an unknown land. This book, first published in 1987, dispels some of the mystery by focusing on the land, the people and the history. It explores the influences on events of trade, foreign involvement in Omani affairs, and Ibadism (the principal sect of Islam in Oman). It also emphasizes the role of the Sultan in contemporary Oman. The architect of Oman’s ‘new age’, Qaboos has overseen significant changes in the country’s political system and rapid economic growth financed by oil exports.
