This volume addresses the historical structures and current dynamics of Oman’s regionalization processes and their political, economic and social dimensions. It is based on an interdisciplinary and trans-regional dialogue between scholars from different social sciences and area studies such as political science, economics, management, economic and social geography, history, social anthropology and linguistics as well as Middle East/West Asian, gulf and African studies, and develops four major axes of research: - Oman’s integration into global and regional flows of goods, capital, people and ideas; - The multi-scaled political negotiation of such integration (or disintegration) processes; - Consequences of suchlike processes and forms of regionalization for (translocal) actors; - Ideas and strategic communication of regional belonging and the constitution of regions. Each chapter deals with one or more of these issues. Part I deals with concepts of regionalisation and region-building and presents different approaches that accentuate certain dimensions of these processes and come from different disciplinary backgrounds. Part II focuses on the translocal, transnational and (trans)regional movement of people, their practices and imaginations, be they contemporary labour in- and out-migrants, returnees from Eastern Africa or nomadic tribal members. Part III takes a closer look particularly at economic issues and regionalisation processes that are mainly based on multiple trade links, regional development policies or politics of regionalism. Part IV analyses political and socio-cultural issues in regional and global perspectives.  .

Le Sahara, souvent considéré comme une barrière difficilement franchissable entre l'Afrique du Nord et l'Afrique subsaharienne, représente également un espace de transit, de rencontres et d'échanges pour les hommes, les biens et les idées. On retrouve dans cet espace les traces des relations qui existent depuis toujours, bien qu'elles aient souvent été inégales au fil du temps. Les relations actuelles, qui ont connu un regain d'intensité, surtout dans cette dernière décennie, incitent à parler d'une revitalisation des anciennes relations à travers le Sahara. En prenant en considération l'espace maghrébin, saharien, sahélien et transsaharien, et leurs populations dans leur ensemble ce que l'on ne fait plus depuis l'époque coloniale, les auteurs parviennent à surmonter une "balkanisation" de fait de cet espace et sont allés sur les traces des acteurs par le bas, qui, eu, ne l'ont jamais prise en considération.
