The article analyses the problem of political leadership in developing countries on the example of Yemen. The main source of data for the analysis is the personal experience of one of the authors, who worked for two years in the local higher education system. The activity of Yemen’s national leaders, who headed the authoritarian regime in both parts of the country and who coordinated the political, economic and ideological efforts of the authorities, aimed at modernization of the Arab society, has been chosen as the object of the study. The research focuses on the practice of public administration and social transformations, which was implemented in the Yemen Arab Republic and the National Democratic Republic of Yemen, when Ali Abdullah Saleh (1978-2011) and Ali Nasser Muhammad (1972-1986) - prominent representatives of the modernist authoritarianism, headed these countries. First one was an Arab Marxist, the other a moderate Islamic nationalist. The article uses the method of comparative analysis to show the role and importance of political leadership in Yemen under the conditions of the authoritarian regime. The analysis of relevant leaders’ activities provides serious basis for reflection to managers, political scientists and economists.

W niniejszym artykule poddano analizie problem przywództwa politycznego w krajach rozwijających się na przykładzie Jemenu. Wybór tematyki podyktowany jest tym, że w 2020 upłynęło trzydzieści lat od zjednoczenia tego państwa oraz doświadczeniami osobistymi jednego z autorów, który przez dwa lata pracował w tamtejszym systemie szkolnictwa wyższego. Przedmiotem badań jest działalność autorytarnych prezydentów Jemenu i Narodowo-Demokratycznej Republiki Jemenu: Alego Abdullaha Saleha (1978- 2011) i Alego Nassera Muhammada (1972-1986). Pierwszy z nich był arabskim marksistą, drugi – umiarkowanym islamskim nacjonalistą. W artykule zastosowano metodę analizy porównawczej, za pomocą której ukazano rolę i znaczenie przywództwa politycznego w Jemenie w warunkach reżimu autorytarnego.
