The Tension between Religious Liberty and Religious Establishment in Revolutionary New England
Revolutionary-era state constitutions reflected an unsettling tension in the history of American liberty. This article captures how revolutionary-era Americans accommodated moral liberty with religious establishment. Their notions of liberty were paradoxical, but it is possible to track their moral reasoning

Economic Diversification and Energy Security in Oman: Natural Gas, the X Factor
Given its limited oil and gas resources compared to its neighbours, energy diversification has been Oman’s stated goal since at least the 1980s. Yet, this paper argues that, due to the country’s structure of power generation, both issues of economic diversification and energy security are intimately linked and cannot be dissociated. Oman’s national policy for the energy sector, the political and economic challenges of the energy subsidy reforms i…

The “Heritage” Boom in the Gulf: Critical and Interdisciplinary Perspectives
Recent years have seen increasing attention being paid to the “heritage” of the Gulf states, whether by local populations, academic and other commentators, or governments. Some of this has appeared
So Close, So Far. National Identity and Political Legitimacy in UAE-Oman Border Cities
Since the accession of Oman and the United Arab Emirates to the independence in the early 1970s, the building of both a state apparatus and a nation has lain at the heart of the political projects of respective rulers of these countries to assert their legitimacy and control over their respective territory. This issue of the mutual relationship has been particularly crucial, given the two countries’ shared modern history, and the tribal and ethni…
Monsoon Revolution: Republicans, Sultans and Empires in Oman, 1965–1976, by Abdel Razzaq Takriti
The history of Arab lefts, and more broadly of popular movements that have fought for social and political revolutionary emancipation in the Middle East, remains for the most part to be written. The Dhofar Revolution in the 1960s and the 1970s, which was the longest-running popular armed struggle in the history of the Arabian Peninsula, opposed an absolute ‘monarchical-tribal order that revolved around a British-maintained ruler’ (p. 6) and an in…
Oman: Politics and Society in the Qaboos State
When Sultan Qaboos overthrew his father as ruler of the Persian Gulf state of Oman in 1970, with the help of British advisers, few expected him to survive long. He was unknown to his own population, and the country was poor and plagued by civil wars. Yet he has built his regime's legitimacy on a policy of national unification, the assimilation of all of Oman to the oil rentier state framework, and of his state to the person of the sultan, the inc…
Business politics in the Middle East
Although most Arab countries remain authoritarian, many have undergone a restructuring of state-society relations in which lower- and middle-class interest groups have lost ground while big business has benefited in terms of its integration into policy-making and the opening of economic sectors that used to be state-dominated. Arab businesses have also started taking on aspects of public service provision in health, media and education that used …
Autoritarisme et stratégies de légitimation dans le golfe Persique à l'heure du « Printemps arabe »
Si la contestation populaire de l’ordre autoritaire qui a embrasé le monde arabe depuis la fin de l’année 2010 n’a pas épargné les monarchies du golfe Persique, ces dernières n’ont pas été amenées à entreprendre de changement politique d’envergure. Cet article analyse, dans une perspective comparée, les stratégies de légitimation non coercitives mises en œuvre par le Bahreïn (depuis l’arrivée au pouvoir du roi Hamad en 1999) et par le sultanat d’…
J'ai respiré l'air de la liberté. » La légitimation autoritaire au Bahreïn et en Oman à l'épreuve du « printemps arabe »
While the “Arab Spring” did not spare the monarchies of the Persian Gulf, it was in the Kingdom of Bahrain and the Sultanate of Oman, both of which possess less significant petroleum resources than their neighbors, that popular mobilizations were the most organized. These mobilizations did not, it is true, lead to any formal political change but they nevertheless had a profound and lasting impact on the political legitimacy of the two countries’ …
Building a New Jerusalem: John Davenport, a Puritan in Three Worlds
In this original and lucid study, Francis J. Bremer gives us the first modern biography of John Davenport (1597–1670), one of the brighter lights of Puritan New England, well known during his lifetime as a strong preacher, astute writer, and formative leader of the colony of New Haven. Yet, as Bremer explains, historians have rarely given Davenport his due. They have portrayed his colony as a bizarre or at least extreme experiment in Puritan soci…
High Visibility, Low Profile: The Shiʿa in Oman Under Sultan Qaboos
If the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003 has produced unprecedented consequences for the internal policies of Middle Eastern regimes, this is not related to the upsurge of democratization that was supposed to spread like a contagion through the neighboring countries. Rather, it is due to the increased impact of the Shiʿi issue on the national political agendas of many Arab states. Following the collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime, many observers thus…

Le Conseil d'Oman, une instance bicamérale de consolidation de l'autoritarisme sultanien
Depuis 1996, le sultanat d’Oman dispose d’un parlement bicaméral, le Conseil d’Oman, composé d’une chambre haute, le Conseil d’état, nommée intégralement par le sultan, et d’une chambre basse, le Conseil Consultatif, élue au suffrage universel tous les quatre ans. Ce texte s’interroge sur le rôle de cette institution, dans un pays gouverné depuis 1970 par un souverain (Qabous Al Said) qui a su concilier un développement économique et social sans …

Something Stirring under the Still Waters of Oman: Tightening the Grip or Revitalizing the Monarchy
Changes in governing practices in Oman are indicated by a number of recent developments: on the one hand the regime is attempting to diversify the economy away from its complete dependence on oil revenues (through Omanisation of the labour force and a diversification of economic activities); on the other, the authorities’ reaction to the timidly dissenting voices which have emerged since 2005 reflects their response to the USA’s political pressur…

Nation-building and communities in Oman since 1970: The Swahili-speaking Omani in search of identity
Since 1970, building a new national identity by reunifying Oman's ethno-linguistic groups has been at the heart of Sultan Qaboos's political project. This paper focuses on the place of Omani who returned from the former colonies of Zanzibar and East Africa, responding to Sultan Qaboos's call to ‘nationals’ abroad. While they played a leading role in the modernization process of the Sultanate, these Swahili-speaking Omani faced prejudices from the…

Religion, Discipline, and the Economy in Calvin's Geneva
Based on Genevan Consistory records from 1542 to 1564, this article argues that Calvin's teaching on the body social informed ecclesiastical restrictions on usury and other commercial innovations.The tendency of Genevan entrepreneurs to adopt new market strategies in order to profit from French refugees and other newcomers turned Calvin against the most salient instruments of the market. He feared especially for the fate of truth-the reliability …

The Economic Thought of Jonathan Edwards
On 16 March 1742, Jonathan Edwards's church in Northampton adopted a new covenant of faith. Written in the heat of the Great Awakening, the document began, predictably, by acknowledging "the blessed manifestations and fruits of [God's] gracious presence in this town" during the recent spiritual revivals. It then plunged into more worldly matters. It called on every church member to deal honestly and justly in secular business: they were not "in a…
