Introduction

James Redman is a cultural anthropologist whose research focuses on the primacy of social connections in the Middle East and the ways that these interpersonal ties can provide economic and political rewards as well as access to state resources.  His past projects were based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Kuwait that included in-depth, longitudinal interviews and participant-observation with citizens and expatriates in both the public and private sectors.  Currently, his studies are based in Oman.
