Degree awarded September 2017 ii © 2017 Nicole Kessell iii THESIS ABSTRACT Nicole Kessell Master of Arts Department of International Studies September 2017 Title: Migration, Identity, and the Spatiality of Social Interaction in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman Utilizing Henri Lefebvre’s theory of the production of space as a framework for exploration, this research is concerned with the social and cultural impacts of modernization and international migration to Muscat, Oman focusing on the production of space and its role in the modification and (re)construction of culture and identity in the everyday. While the Omani state is promoting a unifying national identity, Muscat residents are reconstructing and renegotiating culture and identity in the capital city. Individuals are adapting and conforming to, mediating, and contesting both the state’s identity project as well as to the equally, if not more, influential social control that is the culture of gossip and reputation.

  • Unsettling State: Non-Citizens, State Power
    UNSETTLING STATE: NON-CITIZENS, STATE POWER AND CITIZENSHIP IN THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES by Noora Anwar Lori A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science Baltimore, Maryland October, 2013 ABSTRACT: This dissertation examines the development and enforcement of citizenship and immigration policies in the United Arab Emirates in order to revisit an enduring puzzle in comparative politics: why are resource-rich states resiliently authoritarian? The dominant explanation for the ‘oil curse’ assumes that authoritarianism emerges because regimes ‘purchase’ the political acquiescence of their citizens by redistributing rents. However, prior to the redistribution of rents comes the much more fundamental question of who will be included in the group of beneficiaries. I argue that oil facilitates the creation of authoritarian power structures because when political elites gain control over fixed assets, they can more effectively erect high barriers to political incorporation. By combining stringent citizenship policies with temporary worker programs, political elites develop their resources while concentrating the redistribution of assets to a very small percentage of the total population. In the UAE, this policy combination has been so effective that non-citizens now comprise 96 percent of the domestic labor force. The boundaries of the UAE’s citizenry became increasingly stringent as oil production was converted into revenue in the 1960s. Since oil reserves are unevenly distributed across the emirates, the political elites who signed concessions with successful oil prospectors have since monopolized control over the composition of the citizenry. As a result, domestic minorities who were previously incorporated by smaller emirates who did not discover oil have since been excluded from the citizenry.

Introduction At its sixth session, the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues recommended that an expert undertake a comparative study on the subject of boarding schools.1 This report provides a preliminary analysis of boarding school policies directed at indigenous peoples globally. Because of the diversity of indigenous peoples and the nation-states in which they are situated, it is impossible to address all the myriad boarding school policies both historically and contemporary. Boarding schools have had varying impacts for indigenous peoples.

  • Bibliography of the Arabian Peninsula
    BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE ARABIAN PENINSULA J.E. Peterson Prefatory Note: This bibliography concentrates on citations relating to the Arabian Peninsula that I have collected over some three decades. Items have been published in various Western languages as well as Arabic. This is very much a work in progress and cannot be considered complete. Similarly, presentation of the bibliography here in the present format should be regarded as an interim effort despite its imperfections. A number of older citations have yet to be transferred from notecards to the database on which this bibliography is based. Some items are unpublished, other citations are not complete (typically lacking volume details and page numbers for periodical citations). Shorter articles and those of a more transitory nature, i.e. newspaper and newsletter articles, have been excluded. I have not been able to examine all the items and therefore undoubtedly there are many mistakes in citations and inevitably some items have been included that do not actually exist. The bibliography is in simple and rough alphabetical order according to author only because I have had no opportunity to rearrange by subject. Alphabetization was done automatically within the original database and idiosyncrasies in the database regarding non-English diacritical marks may make alphabetization somewhat irregular. For similar reasons, the order in which entries by the same author are listed may also be irregular. The subjects reflect my own interests and therefore range from history through the social sciences and international affairs. Generally speaking, archaeology, the arts, the physical sciences, and many areas of culture, inter alia, have not been included.

  • Registered Nurses' Perceptions of Workplace Stress in Paediatric
    Registered Nurses’ Perceptions of Workplace Stress in Paediatric Intensive Care Units in Saudi Arabia: A Mixed- Method research study Submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirement of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By: Amany Anwar Alabdullah, BSc, MSc School of Health and Social Work University of Hertfordshire February 2020 Abstract Background: Workplace stress among nurses in Intensive Care Units (ICU) has been shown to variously affect their health, the quality of nursing care, healthcare delivery and national healthcare costs (Mokhtar et al., 2016). Although this is equally true for Paediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs), research into this environment has remained scarce and no previous studies have focused on workplace stress in PICUs within a Saudi Arabian (SA) context. The current research study addressed this omission. Aims: This research study used a mixed-method approach to explore and understand workplace stress and its sources among nurses working in public hospital PICUs in Riyadh and Dammam, SA. Methods: In this mixed-method research study, 172 Registered Nurses from six PICUs in large public hospitals completed questionnaires in Phase 1 (quantitative data collection). These questionnaires comprised of the Expanded Nursing Stress Scale (ENSS) and personal characteristic questions. In the subsequent Phase 2 (qualitative data collection), 24 of the original 172 participants from Phase 1 took part in face-to- face semi-structured interviews. Results: The majority of the nurses suffered from a medium level of workplace stress; this was associated with tangible personal characteristics, such as gender, nationality and academic nursing qualifications. Sources of workplace stress related to ‘workload’, ‘caring for critically ill children’, ‘cultural challenges’ and ‘nursing management and nursing colleagues’.

The Ottoman Empire's collapse ended its role in Arabian affairs while Great Britain reached the peak of its influence. For launching the Arab revolt against the Ottomans, Shariff:Iusayn of Mecca received British support to establish the Hashemite kingdom of the Hijaz. The resurgent Sa'iidi emirate led by 'Abd al-'AzTz ibn Sa'iid had wrested al• Ahsa' from the Ottomans in 1913 and continued expanding after the war, conquering the Rashidi emirate ofJabal Shammar in 1921 and the kingdom of the Hijaz four years later. In North Yemen, the Ottoman evacuation gave the / Zaydi imamate occasion to occupy the coastal plain while Britain retained control over Aden and influence over the southern Yemeni hinterland.
