Building an Enduring Peace in Yemen
Abstract
The central question motivating this study is deceptively simple: How do you build an enduring peace in Yemen? The short answer: No one knows. Time and again, negotiated ceasefires have proven unsustainable, and once-promising confidence-building measures have failed to change the status quo, let alone achieve an enduring peace. We draw on five years of RAND Corporation research to provide new insights into this fundamental question. This work includes an expansive data collection effort with four main components, focused on assessing (1) national conflict dynamics, (2) regional influence networks and key actors, (3) local drivers of conflict and sources of resiliency, and (4)international perspectives on what must be done to end the conflict. Our research provides no simple solution to resolve the crisis, but it helps explain the grievances that have gotten us to this point and, more importantly, offers clear recommendations for ending the cycle of violence, failed peace talks, and broken promises.
