2008.

Summary/Abstract

This is the history of the search for, and eventual discovery of, oil in Oman, from the first geological survey in 1925 by George Lees and his party through to modern times. For many years survey work was hampered by disputes between the tribes and the Sultan. Then bad luck with the Fahud-1 well in 1957 meant that it was not until 1963 that oil was finally struck in the Natih field. Oil quickly became the mainstay of the Omani economy. This is the slightly edited text of the lecture which he delivered to the Society on 20 February 2008.

Reflections on the Arab awakening / Clark, Terence

Publication

2013.

Summary/Abstract

One of the Society's Arabists analyses the course of the Arab Awakening, emphasising the difficulty of drawing general conclusions from events in a number of very different countries. He suggests that the newly-elected powers will now need to deliver on their promises in terms with which the West would be familiar-education, health, human rights and, above all, employment. These issues will play out in Arab terms and on the basis of Arab choices. The West needs to accept this, but remain engaged. The author concludes with a short description of UK efforts.
