Hence “the system of domination” lead to proxy wars in the geographic area, in order to maintain its hegemony that have created regional competition grounds. This paper is to study Yemeni as special geopolitical position that has changed during recent years by emphasizing on its political structure, capacity, geopolitical, geo-economic and geo-culture aspects that played a major role in its transformation. By analyzing questionnaires, results show that  potential geopolitical factors affecting Yemen in the field of regional and international, including, the geo-strategic position of the Strait of Bab el-Mandeb and the strength of the internal structure of Yemen's political and social system. We hope, Yemeni will be created the regional competitions based on its current position in the shadow of geo-culture, religious factors and human factors as its potentiality.
