“Regionalizing oman”: A new interest of research on oman and its spatial dimensions

Abstract

In this introductory chapter, the editor of the volume presents the background of the present volume-especially touching on the renewed interest of researchers from a wide range of social science disciplines in the Gulf area and, in the wake of it, in Oman-and the book’s general outline before it sums up each chapter of the volume individually. The presentation of the chapters shows the multiple possible perspectives on “Regionalizing Oman”.
