Canonical theories of political economy struggle to explain
patterns of distribution in authoritarian regimes. In this Element,
Albertus, Fenner, and Slater challenge existing models and
introduce an alternative, supply-side, and state-centered theory of
'coercive distribution'. Authoritarian regimes proactively deploy
distributive policies as advantageous strategies to consolidate
their monopoly on power. These policies contribute to authoritarian
durability by undercutting rival elites and enmeshing the masses in
lasting relations of coercive dependence. The authors illustrate
the patterns, timing, and breadth of coercive distribution with
global and Latin American quantitative evidence and with a series
of historical case studies from regimes in Latin America, Asia, and
the Middle East. By recognizing distribution's coercive dimensions,
they account for empirical patterns of distribution that do not fit
with quasi-democratic understandings of distribution as quid pro
quo exchange. Under authoritarian conditions, distribution is less
an alternative to coercion than one of its most effective
expressions.
