Since ancient times, nations and empire have sought dominance of the sea, recognizing that those who wield power and influence on the high sea have a distinct advantage over those who do not. Maritime strategists, scholars and thinkers, both past and present, have come to the conclusion that control of the sea leads to global influence which, in turn, can lead to security, economic prosperity, and national development. This book, the first written on this subject by an Omani citizen, provided rich insights in to the maritime history of the Sultanate of Oman, offers valuable perspectives on its unique geo-strategic position, and provides thoughtful analyses on measures required to ensure its continued stability, growth, and success as it navigates through the turbulent waters of the 21st century.
