This chapter reconstructs the twisted evolution of the republican order in northernmost Yemen. It traces the research area’s profound socio-political and economic transformations since the beginning of the 1962 revolution and civil war that led to the overthrow of the Zaydi imamate, and describes the transition from the imamic kingdom into the republican order. Incomplete state building, underdevelopment, and the political and economic empowerment of certain influential tribal leaders (shaykhs) through the politics of co-optation and patronage resulted in severe political and economic imbalances which prepared the ground for growing dissatisfaction among the area’s average population.
