PRACTICE OF POLITICAL REPRESENTATION OF HOUTHI MOVEMENT (HISTORICAL AND SOCIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS)
https://doi.org/10.22311/2074-1529-2017-13-2-187-204
Abstract
A close connection with traditional north-western Yemeni social patterns of political representation that are used by Houthi Movement is stated on the basis of historical and sociological analysis in the article. It is assumed that this connection has played a significant role in Houthis' recent political achievements. It is noted that the conversion of Houthis into the dominant political force in the country occurred after the formation of Movement's symbolic base, most of which components emerged as a reaction to external stimuli such as neocolonial Western policy and strengthening of the Salafi positions.
