Zusammenfassung:Explores the social, cultural, legal and religious changes that occurred in Oman during the reign of Sultan QaboosExamines the role of Sultan Qaboos and the transformations in Oman during his 50-year reignDelves into new research on an understudied part of the world and the Middle EastHighlights wide-ranging interdisciplinary and international perspectives from leading researchers on Oman and the Middle EastExplores important themes of transformation and preservation, modernisation and continuityThis will be one of the first, timely accounts of both the modern Omani rebirth and its legacy over the entire reign of Sultan Qaboos (1970-2020). The book provides unique, wide-ranging interdisciplinary and international perspectives on modern Oman by specialists in a variety of fields from Oman, Europe and North America. Utilising a range of perspectives, all chapters connect to the theme of rebirth, of the connections between the past and the future pursued by Sultan Qaboos and his government in fields as diverse as health, religion, law, economy, heritage and diplomacy. Not overlooking the many challenges faced during Sultan Qaboos’ reign and still faced by Oman, the book engages various theories and perspectives about Oman’s economic, religious, educational and cultural transformations under Qaboos (d. 2020 CE)
