This book challenges the assumption that authoritarianism is
necessarily a phenomenon located at the level of the state, and
that states as a whole are therefore either democratic or
authoritarian. Its central aim is to shed light on manifestations
of authoritarianism that are not confined to the 'territorial trap'
of the modern state, and are not captured by the concept of an
authoritarian regime. Redefining authoritarianism from a practice
perspective allows us to understand how authoritarian practices
unfold and evolve within democracies and in transnational settings,
in what circumstances they thrive, and how they are best countered.
Authoritarian Practices in a Global Age provides a parsimonious
framework for recognizing and analysing contemporary manifestations
of authoritarianism beyond the state, alongside a number of
empirical case studies. The empirical chapters cast a wide net.
They comprise a study of transnational repression by authoritarian
states; two chapters on informal and formal multilateral
collaboration in anti-terrorist policies; a chapter on corporate
and public-private authoritarian practices in the mining sector;
and a chapter on cover-ups of child sexual abuse in the Catholic
Church. The concluding chapter draws out commonalities and unique
features from the case studies, thereby setting out a research
agenda for future work. Authoritarian practices, once
operationalized as demonstrated in this book, can and must be
classified and compared, and causal connections established with
other phenomena such as violence, corruption, and inequality, if we
are to suggest ways of responding to them.
