Middle East Policy
A first rate book that is not only the first study of its kind, but will become the starting point for all future analyses of Omani foreign policy. This work should serve as a model for much needed studies of the foreign affairs of other Gulf states. Highly recommended.

An extremely valuable contribution to our understanding of the contemporary Gulf by documenting Oman's foreign policy.
