	[Oman-L] Zanzibar subsidy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		As Louise pointed out, it became a major instrument in British politics towards Oman in the 19th and 20th century, especially since withholding it could be used as an instrument to withhold recognition from an unwelcome new ruler in Muscat and to bring Muscat into financial dependence from Britain.
		It is therefore a recurrent theme in Omani politics in the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century and discussed in most books covering these periods.
		I find Robert G. Landen's "Oman since 1956" particularly useful for understanding how the British used the subsidy as a political instrument in the 19th century.
