This book is an analysis of the boundary treaties between Saudi Arabia and Yemen, starting with the Treaty of Taif in 1934 and concluding with the Treaty of Jeddah in 2000. It discusses the legal arguments of both sides in this long-running boundary dispute, and contains the translated texts of the treaties concerned. Territorial control and cession of territory; occupations, crises; contestation of sovereignty and wars; cross-border movement for pasturage and tribal opposition; unilateral termination of treaties and revocation of privileges of Yemeni nationals in Saudi Arabia, negotiations and breakthroughs; violations of the treaties and acquiescence; arguments about the position of boundary markers and the status of treaties: all these dimensions are discussed in this study.

This volume originates from the proceedings of an international conference convened by the Department of History and Civilization, International Islamic University Malaysia, in collaboration with the Embassy of the Republic of Yemen, in Kuala Lumpur, from 26 to 28 August 2005. Twelve out of thirty-five papers presented at the conference have been reviewed, thoroughly revised and published in this volume. The introduction and the twelve chapters address the question of Hadhrami identity in Southeast Asia from various perspectives and investigate the patterns of Hadhrami interaction with diverse cultures, values and beliefs in the region. Special attention is paid to Hadhrami local and transnational politics, social stratification and integration, religio-social reform and journalism, as well as to economic dynamism and the cosmopolitan character of the Hadhrami societies in Southeast Asia.
