Tolerance as a Legitimation Strategy in Oman’s Political Discourse: From Religious to Foreign Policy Principle

The International Spectator is pleased to present a podcast episode exploring how the concept of tolerance has evolved into a cornerstone of Oman’s national identity and foreign policy. The speaker Giulia Daga, researcher in the "Mediterranean, Middle East and Africa" programme at the Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI) and lecturer at the John Cabot University, will illustrate the main themes of her article From Religious to Political Tolerance: Oman's Identity and Foreign Policy Discourse, published on The International Spectator.

Join her in this discussion on how Oman’s Ibadi tradition, maritime cosmopolitan heritage, and strategic location have shaped a narrative of tolerance that serves the country’s legitimation and status-seeking objectives, both domestically and on the international stage. The article is taken from a recent Issue (Volume 59, Issue 4/2024) of The International Spectator, the peer-reviewed journal of the Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI), which features a focus on evolving strategies and discourses in Gulf States' foreign policies.
