Diplomacy; Political economy

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 Ylönen provides a historically informed investigation of recent relations that involve the Gulf States and Türkiye’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 Türkiye, the study provides an empirical analysis of the interactions and connections between the two regions.

Reviews for The Horn Engaging the Gulf: Economic Diplomacy and Statecraft in Regional Relations

Building on the relatively sparse contemporary literature on relations between the Gulf States and the Horn of Africa, Ylönen explores competition, lack of capacity, and power asymmetries spanning state, sub-state and non-state actors. His theoretical contribution which highlights agency within a competition rubric, as well as deep dive case studies including Ethiopia, Somalia and Eritrea, will be valuable to scholars working at all levels in this field. -- Dr Robert Mason, Non-Resident Fellow, Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington
