Oman has hosted U.S. forces during every U.S. military operation in the region since Specialist in Middle then, and it is a partner in U.S. efforts to counter terrorist groups and related regional threats. The Eastern Affairs January 2020 death of Oman’s longtime leader, Sultan Qaboos bin Sa’id Al Said, is unlikely to alter U.S.-Oman ties or Oman’s regional policies. His successor, Haythim bin Tariq Al Said, a cousin selected by Oman’s royal family immediately upon the Sultan’s death, espouses policies similar to those of Qaboos. During Qaboos’ reign (1970-2020), Oman generally avoided joining other countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, and Oman) in regional military interventions, instead seeking to mediate their resolution. Oman joined the U.S.-led coalition against the Islamic State organization, but it did not send forces to that effort, nor did it support groups fighting Syrian President Bashar Al Asad’s regime. It opposed the June 2017 Saudi/UAE-led isolation of Qatar and did not join a Saudi-led regional counterterrorism alliance until a year after that group was formed in December 2015.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 bLOSiL ZZLL d ABSTRACT This thesis analyses the external and internal influences on the process of state formation in Oman since 1920 and places this process in comparative perspective with the other states of the Gulf Cooperation Council. It considers the extent to which the concepts of informal empire and collaboration are useful in analysing the relationship between Oman, Britain and the United States. The theoretical framework is the historical materialist paradigm of International Relations. State formation in Oman since 1920 is examined in a historical narrative structured by three themes: (1) the international context of Western involvement, (2) the development of Western strategic interests in Oman and (3) their economic, social and political impact on Oman.

  • Above the Falls Regional Park Master Plan
    SECTION 2 Park Background ABOVE THE FALLS REGIONAL PARK MASTER PLAN PARK MASTER PLAN Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board PAGE 2-1 LOCATION, HISTORY, AND CONTEXT The 105-acre Above the Falls Regional Park is located along both banks of the upper Mississippi River in Minneapolis. The park extends from Plymouth Avenue North/8th Avenue NE on the south to the Camden Bridge (N 43rd Avenue/37th Avenue NE) on the north. The park encompasses a 2.75 mile stretch of the Mississippi River. As shown in Figure 2.1, Above the Falls Regional Park is one of a series of regional parks along the Mississippi River in Minneapolis. To the north of ATF Regional Park is North Mississippi Regional Park, which extends to the City’s northern boundary at N 53rd Avenue. To the south, the Central Mississippi Riverfront Regional Park extends from N Plymouth Avenue/8th Avenue NE to Interstate 35W on both sides of the river. Farther down river are Mississippi Gorge Regional Park, Minnehaha Regional Park, and Fort Snelling State Park. Land use in the upper River corridor has fluctuated for the last 125 years in response to market trends, technology and available resources. Until the late 1990s, the vision for this part of the Mississippi was for a working river that would support an industrial economy. The area was first developed with saw mills, lumberyards, and foundries due to its location just above St. Anthony Falls. As rail transportation increased, railroad yards were located on both banks and a railroad bridge was constructed across the river.
