This book provides multiple perspectives on the modern history of Oman during the reign of Sultan Qaboos (1970 2020). It examines 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 contributors engage various theories and perspectives about the country's remarkable economic, religious, educational and cultural transformations.
