Abstract

The purpose of this article is to understand how the struggles of states to assert their identity, autonomy or hegemony affect the international flow of labor. Against the backdrop of the Gulf Crisis in the summer of 1990, the cases of Yemen and Saudi Arabia demonstrate the circumstances under which weak states engaged in the transfer of labor resist political accommodation even at the expense of profitable economic transactions.
