Archival Documents 425 330 $aRadical 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. 330 1 $a»[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?.« 330 1 $a»Die Arbeit schließt eine wichtige Lücke in der Forschung zur DDR-Geschichte.« 330 1 $a»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.« 330 1 $a»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.« 330 1 $aBesprochen in:Jemen-Report (2016), Thanos PetourisThe Chronicle, 01.04.2016 330 1 $aReviewed in:The Chronicle, 01.04.2016 410 0$aEdition Politik ;$vVolume 26. 517 2 $aMüller, A Spectre is Haunting Arabia$eHow the Germans Brought Their Communism to Yemen 606 $aYemen 606 $aMarxism 606 $aGDR 606 $aCold War 606 $aState-Building 606 $aMiddle East 606 $aIdeology 606 $aSoviet Union 606 $aArab Peninsula 606 $aPolitics 606 $aInternational Relations 606 $aPolitical Ideologies 606 $aState 606 $aContemporary History 606 $aPolitical Science 615 4$aYemen 615 4$aMarxism 615 4$aGDR 615 4$aCold War 615 4$aState-Building 615 4$aMiddle East 615 4$aIdeology 615 4$aSoviet Union 615 4$aArab Peninsula 615 4$aPolitics 615 4$aInternational Relations 615 4$aPolitical Ideologies 615 4$aState 615 4$aContemporary History 615 4$aPolitical Science 676 $a320.95332000000002 700 $aMüller$b Miriam M$p
