Factors, Actors And Strategies of Insurgent Groups in the Middle East: A Case Study of the Houthi Movement in Yemen 2004 - 2014

Abstract:

This research explores the case study of one prominent insurgent group in the Middle East: the Houthi movement. There is limited research available on the strategies insurgent groups employ and factors that influence these non-state actors to attain their goals. The research examines three key areas of the Houthi movement: the factors, the actors and the strategies that enabled it to achieve its objectives. Yemen has struggled with various other insurgent groups in recent history. Nevertheless, the Houthi movement was able to assume positions of power more than the other groups. Therefore, this study explores the movement and identifies the factors that enabled its success, the actors who were involved and the strategies it used as a unit. To collect the necessary data, the researcher has used qualitative research methods. Semi-structured interviews have been conducted for the collection of primary data . Due to insecurity and instability in Yemen, nine respondents have been interviewed online through the utilization of advanced technology. Additionally, the study has relied on existing literature on insurgent groups and the Houthi movement for secondary data. For the purpose of analyzing the data collected through online interviews, the researcher has used the thematic content analysis to derive results and findings accordingly.
