- W2339702782 abstract "OMAN Oman, Culture, and Diplomacy, by Jeremy Jones and Nicholas Rideout. Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2012. 296 pages. $95. Reviewed by Calvin H. Allen, Jr. Jeremy Jones, a senior research associate at Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies, and Nicholas Rideout, a reader in Theatre and Performance Studies at Queen Mary University, whose previous work focused on democratic development in Oman, turn their attention to Omani foreign relations.

Jones and Rideout present an intriguing argument about influence of Oman's history of international trade, ethnic diversity, and cultural characteristics on practice of Omani diplomacy. Central to their argument is notion of habitus, a concept derived from Pierre Bourdieu,1which authors define as the expression of an accumulated cultural history, materialized in an approach to living in present . …" @default.
