Galtieri, Lukashenka, and Putin are some of the dictators whose
untrammelled personal power has been seen as typical of the
dog-eat-dog nature of leadership in authoritarian political
systems. This book provides an innovative argument that, rather
than being characterised by permanent insecurity, fear, and
arbitrariness, the leadership of dictatorships is actually governed
by a series of rules. The rules are identified, and their operation
is shown in a range of different types of authoritarian regime. The
operation of the rules is explained in ten different countries
across five different regime types: the Soviet Union and China as
communist single party regimes; Argentina, Brazil, and Chile as
military regimes; electoral authoritarian Malaysia and Mexico;
personalist dictatorships in Belarus and Russia; and the Gulf
monarchies. Through close analysis of the way leadership functions
in these different countries, the book shows how the rules have
worked in different institutional settings. It also shows how the
power distribution in authoritarian oligarchies is related to the
rules. The book transforms our understanding of how authoritarian
systems work.
