How Autocrats Compete - Parties, Patrons, and Unfair Elections in Africa (Hardcover)

Most autocrats now hold unfair elections, yet how they compete in
them and manipulate them differs greatly. How Autocrats Compete
advances a theory that explains variation in electoral
authoritarian competition. Using case studies of Tanzania,
Cameroon, and Kenya, along with broader comparisons from Africa, it
finds that the kind of relationships autocrats foster with
supporters and external actors matters greatly during elections.
When autocrats can depend on credible ruling parties that provide
elites with a level playing field and commit to wider
constituencies, they are more certain in their own support and can
compete in elections with less manipulation. Shelter from
international pressure further helps autocrats deploy a wider range
of coercive tools when necessary. Combining in-depth field
research, within-case statistics, and cross-regional comparisons,
Morse fills a gap in the literature by focusing on important
variation in authoritarian institution building and international
patronage. Understanding how autocrats compete sheds light on the
comparative resilience and durability of modern authoritarianism.
