Abstract
ABSTRACT The article examines the wartime consolidation of the Houthi regime in Yemen. It interrogates how the Houthi regime has survived in the face of years-long conflict and domestic unrest. The article argues that overlapping processes of elite co-option, repression and legitimation helped the Houthi movement manage relations with domestic constituencies. Through the application of a socio-institutional framework, the article shows that a mix of institutional engineering and violence contributed to consolidation of the Houthi regime, allowing the movement to Page control the wartime instability derived from the volatile nature of national and local alliances.
