| Abstract | "Focusing on the fundamental reasons underlying its lasting crisis, this book frames contemporary Yemen and assesses prospects beyond the conflict, identifying the factors which will determine its future internal and international characteristics. Building on Helen Lackner's profound experience in Yemen, this volume discusses Yemen's history and state formation, the main political institutions emerging since the Republic of Yemen was established and their role in the war, including the significance of current fragmentation. Climate change, including the water scarcity issue, is discussed in the context of resource constraints to economic development and the role of migration. Rural and urban life, as well as the impact of international development and humanitarian aid, are covered. Yemen's international relations are covered, prioritizing interaction with its neighbours as well as western states. Looking forward, it suggests the type of policies able to give Yemenis the conditions needed for a reasonable living standard. Thanks to analysis of determining events, the book will appeal to politicians, diplomats, humanitarian organizations, security analysts, researchers on the Middle East and those generally interested in Yemen. It will also be an essential text for students of international relations, political economy, failing states, development studies and contemporary Middle Eastern history"-- Provided by publisher. |
