This report seeks to explain how trends towards fragmentation and complexity have made the current Yemeni war harder to end than past conflicts. The report describes the current war in detail and examines diplomatic efforts to end it. The author concludes that the war will be extremely difficult to end without a political process that explicitly acknowledges and deals with the multidimensional nature of the conflict. The Global Transitions Series looks at fragmentations in the global order and how these impact peace and transition settlements. It explores why and how different third-party actors – state, intergovernmental, and non-governmental – intervene in conflicts, and how they see themselves contributing to reduction of conflict and risks of conflict relapse. The series critically assesses the growth and diversification of global and regional responses to contemporary conflicts. It also asks how local actors are navigating this multiplicity of mediators and peacebuilders and how this is shaping conflict outcomes and post-conflict governance.
