Over the past two decades Yemen’s political leadership has often addressed political deadlocks or crises by signing informal power-sharing arrangements among various tribal, regional and political groups in the absence of institutions or a legal framework mandating or regulating these agreements.

Transition at a Crossroads: Moving Beyond the GCC Agreement in Yemen
In late 2011, Yemeni political leaders and stakeholders endorsed the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Agreement, which laid out a two-year roadmap for resolving Yemen's political paralysis.

Two years later, it is likely the initial timeframe will expire without a referendum and without elections. Please view a panel discussion on these timely issues, the overall political environment in Yemen, the potential impact on the electoral process and the ongoing role of the international community.
