This book examines how civil society actors operate under
authoritarian constraints, and examines how this is linked to
regime change. This book moves beyond traditional notions of civil
society and explains the complexity of state-society relations in
authoritarian contexts outside the framework of democratization.
Rejecting a wholly normative approach, the contributors focus on
the whole range of civic activism under authoritarianism, from
resistance to support for the political system in place. They
explain how activism under authoritarianism is subject to different
structures, and demonstrate how active citizens have tried to claw
back powers of expression and contestation, but also sought to
create a voice for themselves as privileged interlocutors of
authoritarian regimes. With a strong empirical focus on a wide
range of countries and authoritarian regimes, this book presents
cross-country comparisons on Spain, Portugal, Romania,
Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan,
Cuba, Chile, Tunisia, Yemen, Jordan, Afghanistan and Burma. Civil
Society Activism under Authoritarian Rule will be of interest to
students and scholars of international politics, comparative
politics, civil society, authoritarianism and regime change.
