Abstract

This article addresses the geopolitics of Bab-al-Mandeb in the war on Yemen, which began in 2015 and continues to this day, in the context of a global pandemic. It makes the hypothesis that securing Bab-al-Mandeb is fundamental for US imperialism. For reasons to do with its global hegemony, the United States cannot permit another force, specifically the Houthis of Yemen, to exercise control over Bab-al-Mandeb. Although many reasons could account for the senseless war, the security of Bab-al-Mandeb-a strategic chokepoint of trade and oil flows-over-determinedly (as in an Althusserian concept) explains the war's continuity. © 2020 University of California Press.

冠状病毒大流行期间也门战争的地缘政治
本文探讨在全球大流行的背景下,也门战争始于2015年并持续至今的曼德堡的地缘政治。它假设保住曼德拉监狱是美帝国主义的根本。出于其全球霸权的原因,美国不能允许另一支力量,特别是也门的胡塞武装,控制曼德布。虽然有很多原因可以解释这场毫无意义的战争,但巴布曼德布的安全——贸易和石油流动的战略要地——过于决定性地(正如阿尔都塞的概念)解释了战争的连续性。©2020加州大学出版社。版权所有。
