Oman is an important country for the West, both as an oil exporter and as a key ally strategically placed at the entrance to the Gulf. This book, first published in 1987, provides an overview of post-war social, political and economic developments in the country. It outlines the historical and geographical background, considers economic developments both in the oil and non-oil sectors, as well as exploring societal changes in Omani culture and education.
