Download or read book Yemen: the Search for a Modern State written by J.E. Peterson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-22 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of North Yemen in the twentieth century was one of the most interesting features of the Arabian Peninsula. After the traumas of the civil war which embroiled Nasser’s Egypt, the country emerged from its traditional tribal heritage into the modern world. Sandwiched between Saudi Arabia and Marxist South Yemen, the country had an awkward and delicate problem in balancing its political affiliations and in resisting external pressure on its internal affairs. This book, first published in 1982, traces the history of the Yemen from the 1930s and looks at the way in which the traditional political structures were modernised and how the country coped with these strains both internally and externally.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Yemen written by Robert D. Burrowes and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2010 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A small and extremely poor Islamic country, Yemen is located on the edge of the Arab world in the southernmost corner of the Arabian Peninsula. It was the product of the unification of the Yemen Arab Republic and the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen in May 1990. The location of the two Yemens on the world's busiest sea-lane at the southern end of the Red Sea where Asia almost meets Africa gave them strategic significance from the start of the age of imperialism through the Cold War. More vital today is the fact that Yemen shares a long border with oil-rich Saudi Arabia and is a key to efforts both to spread and to end global revolutionary Islam and its use of terror. The second edition of the Historical Dictionary of Yemen has been thoroughly updated and greatly expanded. Through its list of acronyms and abbreviations, a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 800 cross-referenced dictionary entries, greater attention has been given to foreign affairs, economic institutions and policies, social issues, religion, and politics.

Download or read book Islam, Memory, and Morality in Yemen written by Gabriele vom Bruck and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Islam, Memory, and Morality in Yemen tells a story of a Yemeni hereditary elite which was overthrown in the 1962 revolution in North Yemen. For over a millennium, they had enjoyed exclusive rights to the leadership of the Imamate, the religiously sanctioned state. Following the violent removal from power of King Faysal of Iraq in 1958, the overthrow of the Yemeni Imamate - the longest lasting Hashimite rule in the Middle East - confirmed the decline of Hashimite power (held by ruling generations claiming descent from the Prophet Muhammad). However, rather than concentrating on recent political history, Islam, Memory, and Morality in Yemen highlights the personal predicament of those targeted by the revolution, in which they served as the foil for the new regime's moral and political ascendancy. Focusing on the cultural politics of memory, the book explores how members of the elite remember in the process of making sense of their current lives and formulating responses to adversity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yemen has experienced wrenching changes that have transformed the country in yet unknown ways. The country exploded in a popular revolution against the long-time rule of Ali Abdallah Saleh. While the country appeared to slip toward civil war, Yemeni political elite rallied with international backers to put together a transitional government with a plan to revise the country’s constitution. The transitional government began with a cautious sense of optimism and the prospect of substantial change for the better, but ended in collapse because of a failure to govern. The politics of the street overran an ineffective transitional government that could not address the urgent concerns of Yemeni citizens for security and jobs. Instead, populist leaders exploited people’s dissatisfactions and threw the country into civil war. The Houthi organization covertly allied with its former enemy, Ali Abdallah Saleh, to overthrow the transitional government and declare war on the rest of the country. Saleh seems unable to conceive of life outside of the Presidential Palace and his Houthi allies appear to believe they are destined to rule. Unfortunately, those opposed to Saleh and the Houthi also seem unable to provide effective rule in spite of massive backing from the Gulf States. The incompetence, infighting, and incoherence of the Hadi government bode equally ill for the future of the country. The one hope may be that a new generation of Yemeni leaders emerges to displace the dismal failures of this one. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of Yemen contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1000 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Yemen.

This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Jewish-Muslim Relations and Migration from Yemen to Palestine in the Late Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries Ari Ariel analyzes the impact of local, regional and international events on ethnic and religious relations in Yemen and Yemeni Jewish migration patterns. Previous research has dealt with single episodes of Yemenite migration during limited spans of time. Ariel, instead, provides a broad sweep of the migratory flows over the 70 year time span during which most of Yemen’s Jews moved to Palestine and then Israel. He successfully avoids the polemic nature of much of the literature on Middle Eastern Jewry by focusing on the social, economic and political transformations that provoked and then sustained this migration.

Download or read book Yemen - U.S. Relations: the External and Internal Dynamics: 18th CENTURY - 2012 written by Dr. Moath A. Alrefaei and published by Alrefaei.PublishingHouse. This book was released on 2024-06-22 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: US-Yemeni relations are enveloped in mysteries that have never been fully unraveled. Historically, these relations have fluctuated dramatically-improving momentarily before deteriorating once again. The literature on Yemen-US relations is riddled with inconsistencies and rarely delves deep into the dynamics at the core of this relationship, often overlooking the underlying complexities. This book addresses these key issues by exploring the myriad dynamics that drive bilateral relations between the two nations. It asserts that Yemen-US relations are governed by a complex array of factors, broadly categorized as external and internal. These dynamics are fluid, shifting with the ever-changing global environment and circumstances, making each stage of the relationship distinct from the next. Through a detailed analysis, this book offers a new interpretation of the systematic changes in Yemen-US relations and their future prospects. It highlights the wide range of dynamics-characterized by their plurality, overlap, and dual influence-that contribute to the instability and oscillation defining this relationship.Externally, factors such as regional geo-strategic considerations and the legacies of the Cold War, alongside the democratization and human rights agenda in the new international order, have predominantly shaped the relations. Conversely, the influence of internal factors was traditionally marginal due to weak mutual interests, but this changed dramatically after the September 11 attacks. The escalating threats to homeland security posed by terrorist groups in both nations brought a new dimension to the relationship.Internal dynamics, such as Yemen's conflict with al-Qaeda, its economic and developmental needs, and the country's overall instability, were significant in shaping the bilateral relations during the first decade of this century. However, their influence has since evolved, marking a new era in the relationship between Yemen and the US. This book stands out from others discussing the general state of Yemeni and American relations in two key ways. First, it avoids the conventional, chronological approach that often becomes tedious, opting instead for an analytical methodology that interprets changes in relations based on dominant factors. Second, it employs established scientific and methodological approaches from political science and international relations to ensure objectivity and enhance its scholarly integrity.

Book excerpt: The defence of the Gulf has been a vital strategic concern for close on 100 years. The British first became involved in the Gulf to protect the sea routes to India and with the development of international air routes the Gulf became a crucial staging post. This book, first published in 1986, surveys the strategic issues in the defence of the Gulf from the earliest British involvement up to the Iraq-Iran war. It examines the British retreat from the Gulf and the imperial vestiges that were left behind. It considers the way in which American interests in the Gulf came to replace British interests and it analyses how American foreign policy has responded to this additional responsibility. The book also investigates the regional concerns of Gulf security and the intra-regional conflicts that have erupted in the Iraq-Iran war.

Download or read book The Yemen Arab Republic written by Robert D. Burrowes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-05 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining political and socioeconomic change in the Yemen Arab Republic (YAR), this book, first published in 1987, focuses primarily on the quarter century following the overthrow of the imamate in 1962. The problems and politics of the period’s republican leaders and their regimes are analysed against the backdrop of Yemen’s traditional Islamic theocracy, the Zaydi imamate, which ruled for over a millennium. A country very similar to Afghanistan in its mountainous terrain, tribal social organization, and traditional Islamic culture, the YAR was almost completely isolated and insulated from the modern world and modern politics until the ousting of the imamate. This book explores in detail the processes of change, the political leaders involved, and the impact of domestic and external forces. Dr Burrowes draws on his extensive conversations with YAR leaders to provide a unique view of a country trying to cope with change and modernization.
