There is a short answer to the question that has been posed to the participants in this roundtable. Tribes have a great deal of currency in modern Yemen because they provide an effective means to govern and protect local society. Tribalism is a deep pool of widely accepted customary practices in Yemen that people draw upon to provide security, manage agricultural resources (Yemen's tribespeople are mostly settled agriculturalists), and resolve local disputes.

部落坚持的政治

对本次圆桌会议参与者提出的问题有一个简短的回答。部落在现代也门拥有大量货币，因为它们提供了一种有效的手段来治理和保护当地社会。部落主义是也门广泛接受的习惯做法的一个深水池，人们利用这些做法来提供安全、管理农业资源（也门的部落居民大多是定居的农业家）和解决当地争端。
