Search in google:
This book is the first in any language to systematically analyze the foreign policy of the 25-year-old Sultanate. Library Journal The Sultanate of Oman is one of the least-studied countries in the Persian Gulf. This book by an associate political scientist at The Rand Corp. and a keen observer of recent developments in the Gulf goes a long way toward filling the gap in our knowledge of the domestic and external dynamics of contemporary Oman. The author has done an admirable job of interweaving a vast array of Western and Arabic source materials, including interviews with key Omani officials, into a coherent, readable, and much-needed volume on Oman's foreign policy. The book contains an extensive bibliography and useful statistical charts. Highly recommended for Middle East specialists and students of foreign policy.
