The Middle East is in the midst of considerable and unpredictable
changes, but deeply patrimonial political systems do not change
overnight and neither do the international and regional structures
that have helped them to endure for so long. The informal rules
that guide Yemeni society and its dysfunctional political
settlement look set to endure, in spite of unprecedented protests.
Entangled in a narrative of acute crisis and possible state
failure, the country still relies on foreign assistance to prop up
its ailing economy. Fearing the threat from al-Qaeda on Yemeni soil
as well as the crisis of the Houthi insurgency and the southern
secessionist movement, regional and Western powers have continued
to bankroll the regime without taking significant steps to address
the underlying causes of instability and threat. Drawing on
research carried out on the ground in Yemen, this Adelphi examines
the shadowy structures that govern political life and sustain a
network of social elites predisposed against any far-reaching
systemic reform. It looks behind the scenes at the regime s opaque
internal politics, at its entrenched patronage system and at the
rules of the game that will shape the behaviour of the post-Saleh
rulers, to offer insights for how the West may better engage within
that game
