The Horn Engaging the Gulf: Economic Diplomacy and Statecraft in Regional Relations (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780755635153)

This book discusses theoretical perspectives of analyzing the relations between the states and non-state actors in the Horn of Africa and their counterparts in the Persian Gulf and the Middle East. Crucially, these relations are examined primarily from the perspective of the diplomatic, economic, and strategic agency of the African states and societal actors. Here, domestic political dynamics and local power play a significant role.

Aleksi Ylen provides a historically informed investigation of recent relations that involve the Gulf States and T?kiye's resurgent interest in the Horn Africa. The analysis focuses on the post-Arab Spring period following the Iran nuclear deal and the war in Yemen. Featuring case studies from Ethiopia, Somalia, and Eritrea which highlight engagements of the Horn state and societal actors primarily with the Gulf States and T?kiye, the study provides an empirical analysis of the interactions and connections between the two regions.
