After the Yemeni Spring. A survey on the transition

Yemen has been a key-actor in the War on Terror throughout the 2000s. It is a complex country, too often trivialized by statistics focusing on its inconvenient position as the youngest and poorest country in the Arab world as a whole. In working on the most updated economic, social, political, and strategic data, the authors bring to the attention the new scenarios after the Saleh’s era, in which Yemenis are called to rebuild their country and outline a new national pact for the future. The results of the research (supported by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs) give also a chance to overcome stereotypes of politics in Arab countries. The Yemen’s panorama displayed in this book helps the reader to gain access to the core issues the current dialogue on reforms will unavoidably deal with, as well as to the key knowledge concerning the new political phase and the role of all Yemen’s partners, including Italy.
