Emergence of States in a Tribal Society

Meer over het boek

Assesses the reign of Sa'id bin Taymur, who was deposed by his son, Qabus bin Sa'id, in a coup in July 1970. This title refutes the view that Sa'id's four- decade reign should be perceived as a place where time stood still. It looks at the economic, political, social and cultural aspects of Oman during the reign of Sa'id bin Taymur.
