Archival Documents 425Radical ideologies may manifest differently at first, but they do follow a similar logic: truth claims, promises of salvation and a unifying common enemy. In Yemen's transition process today, the secessionist movement Al-Hirak has summoned the spirit of South Yemen, the only Marxist state in Arabia. This book meticulously describes how East Germany supported the implantation of this alien ideology in Yemen through its policy of »Socialist state- and nation-building«. In the same breath, the analysis captures the GDR's activities in the Middle East and their vital role in Moscow's Cold War strategy. Last but least, the study provides one of the few compact overviews of East German foreign policy in the English language of today.[The] work stands as a great example of the strength of an open-minded interdisciplinary approach and should serve as both an encouragement and a reminder that the history of the GDR's foreign policy (not only) in Yemen has not yet been conclusively written. Thanks to Müller's book, future scholars will have a strong and solid foundation from which to continue writing the history of this peculiar ›Spectre‹.«Die Arbeit schließt eine wichtige Lücke in der Forschung zur DDR-Geschichte.Das Verdienst des Buches [ist es], gewohnte Forschungsperspektiven gewechselt und den Komplex des ostdeutsch-südjemenitischen Verhältnisses in einen größeren – primär das englischsprachige Publikum adressierenden – politikwissenschaftlich-theoretischen Kontext gerückt zu haben, indem er als ›socialist state- and nation-building‹ gefasst wurde.Insgesamt bietet Müllers Werk den ersten, auf deutschem Archivmaterial basierenden Überblick über die ostdeutsch-südjemenitischen Beziehungen. Er schließt damit eine bedeutende Lücke in der bestehenden Historiographie beider Länder und stellt lang gehaltene Annahmen über die Rolle der DDR im Südjemen in Frage.Besprochen in:Jemen-Report (2016), Thanos PetourisThe Chronicle, 01.04.2016Reviewed in:The Chronicle, 01.04.2016Edition Politik ;Volume 26.Müller, A Spectre is Haunting ArabiaHow the Germans Brought Their Communism to YemenYemenMarxismGDRCold WarState-BuildingMiddle EastIdeologySoviet UnionArab PeninsulaPoliticsInternational RelationsPolitical IdeologiesStateContemporary HistoryPolitical ScienceYemenMarxismGDRCold WarState-BuildingMiddle EastIdeologySoviet UnionArab PeninsulaPoliticsInternational RelationsPolitical IdeologiesStateContemporary HistoryPolitical Science320.95332000000002Müller Miriam MMiriam M.
