When a totalitarian group seizes power, one of the first
institutions it creates is a secret political police. Since the
birth of modern totalitarianism, in country after country, secret
political police have been the predominant instruments of power,
used to consolidate power, neutralize the opposition, and erect a
one-party state. Yet, when these same totalitarian regimes have
liberalized or collapsed, the secret political police have often
managed to survive and even remain relevant. Dismantling Tyranny:
Transitioning Beyond Totalitarian Regimes provides a groundbreaking
exploration of this survival tendency in seven formerly communist
regimes in the former Soviet Union and Latin America - and the
lessons these transformations hold for future democratic
revolutions. But Dismantling Tyranny is also much more: it is a
guidebook designed to empower, inform, and guide future transitions
toward democracy for those political leaders with the initiative,
and courage, to embark upon such a visionary path. Published in
cooperation with the American Foreign Policy Council.
