| Sumario: | Abstract: The conflict in Yemen has been described as “the worst humanitarian crisis of the century”. But paradoxically, it is one of the least analysed conflicts and occupies a relegated place on the international agenda. In turn, the studies carried out have focused on the interventions of Saudi Arabia and Iran, neglecting the role of other external actors – especially the United Arab Emirates – and often giving a secondary role to the actions of Yemeni actors. Therefore, this article aims to make a contribution to make up for part of this deficit. First, the main characteristics of Emirati politics are analysed, exposing the interests and identity cleavages that determine its foreign policy, which have drove Abu Dhabi's involvement in this conflict, becoming a central actor. Subsequently, an attempt will be made to elucidate the dynamics of Emirati involvement, analysing the alliances forged with Yemeni actors and the main actions carried out. Finally, an assessment of its participation will be made, considering the gains and losses, and the impact it had on the relationship with Riyadh, one of its main allies in the region. |
