An expert and accessible exploration of the increasing number and influence of authoritarian regimes. It explains the realities of recent trends to ‘autocratization’, the tools these regimes use, what we can do to resist, and why we might even allow ourselves some optimism.

At least 70% of the world’s population now lives under an autocracy. There are more openly authoritarian states than ever, democratic regimes are ‘backsliding’ into autocracy, and authoritarian values and practices are increasingly normalized. Regimes in China and Russia are as prominent and urgent as ever, but authoritarianism is spreading across the globe.

Why is this happening? What can we do about it?

This book is a concise and compelling exploration of the increasing number and influence of authoritarian regimes. It explains the realities of recent trends to ‘autocratisation’, the tools these regimes use, what we can do to resist, and why we might even allow ourselves a degree of optimism.

Professor Natasha Lindstaedt works at the Department of Government at the University of Essex.

Arvustused

Natasha Lindstaedt, one of the finest experts in comparative authoritarianism worldwide, provides a thought-provoking synopsis of what we know about authoritarian regimes today. It is such an informative and nuanced tour dhorizon that I can only warmly recommend that you go and buy this book! -- Johannes Gerschewski Concise, insightful, full of illustrative examples, and beautifully written, Prof. Lindstaedts book is an absolute must for anyone interested in understanding modern authoritarianism, its strategies of survival, the role of protest campaigns in destabilising such regimes and the (many) policy implications of these issues.  -- Abel Escribà-Folch Dictators and dictatorships are an increasingly prominent part of the international landscape, yet their motivations and policies are poorly understood. Written by the utmost authority in the field, this brilliant book succinctly summarizes the state-of-art research on authoritarianism including on the new forms of autocracy and authoritarian behaviour. -- Alexander Baturo A useful primer on perhaps the most critical issue for the worlds democracies: how the world seems to be sliding away from democracy and toward greater autocracy. Critical reading for those trying to better understand our present and our future. -- Thomas Ambrosio If you want to learn a lot about what matters most, in as short a time as possible, this is the series for you. -- Danny Dorling
