Abstract
This thesis explores the extent to which the Southern Transitional Council (STC) in Yemen has manifested itself as a partner of the Arab coalition and its aspirations to take the lead in regional and international politics and conflict resolution through the Yemen crisis.

This thesis explores the extent to which the Southern Transitional Council (STC) in Yemen has manifested itself as a partner of the Arab coalition and its aspirations to take the lead in regional and international politics and conflict resolution through the Yemen crisis. It also uses Qualitative Content Analysis to analyze fourteen interviews with key stakeholders and experts from various political parties in Yemen such as STC, General People’s Congress, Islah and independent activists. Moreover, it indicates the development of the STC, its identity, regional and international influence, contemporary presence, and the role of its military forces. It provides insights into the complex dynamics shaping the STC's relationships with various actors, including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), as well as the challenges and opportunities it faces in achieving its goals. Findings reveal that the relations between the STC and the regional powers are controversial. This thesis argues that the legitimacy of the STC and its participation in the Yemeni reconciliation efforts require the mechanisms of understanding and common interests with the Arab coalition led by KSA and the UAE. The great strength of the Arab coalition and its global presence in the Middle East makes it a necessary partner for the STC. (Less)
