This accessible volume shines a light on how autocracy really works
by providing basic facts about how post-World War II dictatorships
achieve, retain, and lose power. The authors present an
evidence-based portrait of key features of the authoritarian
landscape with newly collected data about 200 dictatorial regimes.
They examine the central political processes that shape the policy
choices of dictatorships and how they compel reaction from policy
makers in the rest of the world. Importantly, this book explains
how some dictators concentrate great power in their own hands at
the expense of other members of the dictatorial elite. Dictators
who can monopolize decision making in their countries cause much of
the erratic, warlike behavior that disturbs the rest of the world.
By providing a picture of the central processes common to
dictatorships, this book puts the experience of specific countries
in perspective, leading to an informed understanding of events and
the likely outcome of foreign responses to autocracies.
