Book Description

ISBN-10: 0891587748 | ISBN-13: 978-0891587743 | Publication Date: May 1991 | Edition: illustrated edition

Though lacking in significant oil deposits, North Yemen is located in the centre of the world's most oil-rich region and is thus one of the most strategically important countries in the world. In this up-to-date survey Dr. Wenner's analysis ranges widely across many dimensions of present-day North Yemen; from its geographical characteristics, agricultural heritage, and complex ethnographic make-up to its politico-economic position in the contemporary world and the significant role of North Yemeni emigrants in various countries of the Middle East. Also provided is a brief history of Yemen, with particular emphasis on developments since the revolution of 1962 and the 1970 compromise, which settled the long civil war.
