In Autumn 1995 the Saudi-Yemeni border constituted Arabia´s last indeterminate territorial limit, with the exception of its westernmost stretches, from the Red Sea to Najran, settled by a treaty of 1934. Talks between the Riyadh and Sana´a Governments on the unresolved border question had been intermittently in progress since July 1992. In February 1995 the two states signed a memorandum of understanding reaffirming the provision of the 1934 Treaty of Taif. The Treaty was formally renewed in June 1995, providing for a re-demarcation of the westernmost boundary and establishing a procedural framework for the settlement of the remainder of the boundary further east. The documents provide a wide historical context in which to view the efforts to finalise the political map of the south-western peninsula. Any settlement finally reached between Saudi Arabia and Yemen will need to take full account of critical factors which have shaped the history of their borderlands.
Volume coverage: Volumes 1 and 2 fall under the collective heading: Boundaries, territorial claims and disputes.

It reviews the evolving territorial definition of the Hadhramawt from 1855 onwards and it explores the question of its inclusion within the Aden Protectorate during the first part of the twentieth century. Volume 6 reviews the twentieth-century history of non-British Western contacts with south-west Arabia: Italian interest, French interest in Shaikh Said, and the interests of the oil companies are successively documented.
