Despite the so-called Third Wave of Democratization, many
autocracies have been resilient in the face of political change.
Moreover, many of the transition processes that could be included
in the Third Wave have reached a standstill, or, at the very least,
have taken a turn for the worse, leading sometimes to new forms of
non-democratic regimes. As a result of these developments, the
research on autocracies has experienced a revival in recent times.
This unique two-volume work aims at taking stock of recent research
and providing new conceptual, theoretical, and empirical insights
into autocratic rule in the early twenty-first century. It is
organized into two parts. The contributions in this first volume
analyse the trajectories, manifestations and perspectives of
non-democratic rule in general and autocratic rule in particular.
It brings together some of the leading authoritarianism scholars in
Europe and North America who address three broad questions: How to
conceptualize and measure forms of autocratic regimes? What
determines the persistence of autocratic rule? What is the role of
political institutions, legitimation, ideology, and repression for
the survival of different forms of autocratic rule? This book is an
amalgam of articles from the journals Democratization, Contemporary
Politics and Politische Vierteljahresschrift.
