Summary/Abstract

Little information is available regarding contemporary relations between Bedouin tribes and the Syrian state apparatus. These ties are mainly expressed through relationships of patronage and clientism between tribal leaders and state operatives. The Bedouin tribes of Syria continue to function as groups tied in networks of real and fictive kinship; these bonds provide the tribal members with a solidarity and cohesiveness which the state has not been able to suppress despite decades of effort.

Summary/Abstract

Tradition and ceremonies have always been invented, elaborated, and refined to meet the needs of those in power, to support perceptions of social cohesion and group membership, and to legitimize particular relations of authority. The invented ceremonies and traditions of the British monarchy are particularly exemplary of this process in their growing splendor, popularity, and public appeal. This article explores the creation and elaboration of certain ceremonials and court rituals in the Sultanate of Oman after the accession of Sultan Qaboos in 1970. It investigates the relationship betbeen the development of thsese ceremonial and ritual events and the perception of leadership between the development of these ceremonial and ritual events and the perception of leadership and authority in the person of the sultan, as well as the development of sentiment of common nationality.
