This book proposes a new way of understanding events throughout the
world that are usually interpreted as democratization, rising
authoritarianism, or revolution. Where the rule of law is weak and
corruption pervasive, what may appear to be democratic or
authoritarian breakthroughs are often just regular, predictable
phases in longer-term cyclic dynamics - patronal politics. This is
shown through in-depth narratives of the post-1991 political
history of all post-Soviet polities that are not in the European
Union. This book also includes chapters on czarist and Soviet
history and on global patterns.
