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 $a»Das Verdienst des Buches [ist es], gewohnte Forschungsperspektiven gewechselt und den Komplex des ostdeutsch-su?djemenitischen Verha?ltnisses in einen gro?ßeren - prima?r das englischsprachige Publikum adressierenden - politikwissenschaftlich-theoretischen Kontext geru?ckt zu haben, indem er als ?socialist state- and nation-building? gefasst wurde.« Lutz Maeke, www.sehepunkte.de, 17/9 (2017) »Die Arbeit schließt eine wichtige Lu?cke in der Forschung zur DDR-Geschichte.« Michael Rohschu?rmann, Portal fu?r Politikwissenschaft, 17.03.2016 Besprochen in: Jemen-Report (2016), Thanos Petouris The Chronicle, 01.04.2016 410 0$aEdition Politik ;$vVolume 26. 606 $aSocialism$zYemen, South$xHistory 606 $aCommunism$zYemen, South$xHistory 610 $aArab Peninsula. 610 $aCold War. 610 $aContemporary History. 610 $aGDR. 610 $aIdeology. 610 $aInternational Relations. 610 $aMarxism. 610 $aMiddle East. 610 $aPolitical Ideologies. 610 $aPolitical Science. 610 $aPolitics. 610 $aSoviet Union. 610 $aState-Building. 610 $aState. 615 0$aSocialism$xHistory. 615 0$aCommunism$xHistory. 676 $a320.95332000000002 700 $aMu?ller$b Miriam M.$0894952 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996308784003316 996 $aA Spectre is Haunting Arabia$91999535 997 $aUNISA
