Authoritarianism research has evolved into one of the fastest
growing research fields in comparative politics. The newly awakened
interest in autocratic regimes goes hand in hand with a lack of
systematic research on the results of the political and substantive
policy performance of variants of autocratic regimes. The
contributions in this second volume of Comparing Autocracies are
united by the assumption that the performance of political regimes
and their persistence are related. Furthermore, autocratic
institutions and the specific configurations of elite actors within
authoritarian regime coalitions induce dictators to undertake
certain policies, and that different authoritarian institutions are
therefore an important piece of the puzzle of government
performance in dictatorships. Based on these two prepositions, the
contributions explore the differences between autocracies and
democracies, as well as between different forms of non-democratic
regimes, in regard to their outcome performance in selected policy
fields; how political institutions affect autocratic performance
and persistence; whether policy performance matter for the
persistence of authoritarian rule; and what happens to dictators
once autocratic regimes fall. This book is an amalgam of articles
from the journals Democratization, Contemporary Politics and
Politische Vierteljahresschrift.
