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. -

A defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the US Navy would expand its presence in the Mediterranean to four destroyers from three. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, en route to Asia, said Obama had asked the Pentagon for options on Syria, where an apparent chemical weapons attack that killed as many as 1,000 civilians has upped pressure on Washington to respond. “The Defense Department has responsibility to provide the president with options for all contingencies,” Hagel said. “And that requires posi- tioning our forces, positioning our assets, to be able to carry out different options - whatever options the presi- dent might choose.” He did not elaborate. The defense official, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said the USS Mahan, a destroyer armed with cruise missiles, had finished its deployment and was due to head back to its home base in Norfolk, Virginia. -

Significant progress has been made since the initial concept was approved. Service leads have provided a vision of how each clinic within the service will be delivered. This has allowed us to develop a standard operating procedure for each service and a provisional clinic schedule. It is anticipated that this will be implemented in a phased way, and it is most likely that the first phase will open near the end of October 2019 with the delivery of many of these clinics. Utilising integrated care teams in this way should enhance the quality of the service provided, providing co-ordinated and appropriate care in a more timely fashion, closer to home. During discussions at the short life working group, an overview was provided of NHS Near Me and examples were given of its use. NHS Near Me is a new video consulting service which aims to provide outpatient consultations as close as possible to home. -
