First published in 1984, this volume examines the then-two Yemens,
North and South, and their strategic importance in the Middle East.
South Yemen, formerly Aden, was a Marxist country controlling the
entrance to the Red Sea. North Yemen contained rival tribal
factions and was a buffer country between the Marxists of South
Yemen and Saudi Arabia, a traditional Islamic and pro-Western
country. This book presents much new research and thinking on the
historical development and contemporary political scene in the two
Yemens. It considers the internal politics of the two countries,
discussing the tribal divisions in North Yemen and the attempts by
the Soviets to establish a stable pro-Soviet regime in South Yemen,
and it also discusses international politics connected with the
Yemens. Government institutions are examined and the attempts to
forge these comparatively backward countries into modern states
along with the prospects for union between the two countries are
discussed. This comprehensive selection of papers, which harnesses
much expertise from many countries on the Yemen, is essential
reading.
