Security, Clans and Tribes

Unstable Governance in Somaliland, Yemen and the Gulf of Aden

A. Lewis

Political Science / World / African

Offering an introduction to clanism and tribalism in the Gulf of Aden area, Dr Lewis uses these concepts to analyse security in Yemen, Somalia, Somaliland and the broader region. This historical overview of conflict in each country, and the resulting threats of piracy and terrorism, will benefit both the casual reader and student of development.

From 2009–2012, Dr Alexandra Lewis assisted on an analysis of security in Yemen at the Post-war Reconstruction and Development Unit (PRDU), where she completed her doctoral thesis on violent young offending in Yemen. In 2013, she worked on a large evaluation of conflict across Somalia, leading an investigation of Somaliland. She was Module Leader for Development and Social Change at the School of Politics and International Studies in the University of Leeds from 2013–2014, before returning to the PRDU.
