Authoritarianism (inbunden, eng)

Despite the spread of democratization following the Cold War''s end, all signs indicate that we are currently seeing a resurgence of authoritarianism. Around forty percent of the world''s people live under some form of authoritarian rule, and authoritarian regimes govern about a third of the world''s countries.

In Authoritarianism: What Everyone Needs to KnowRG, Erica Frantz guides us through today''s authoritarian wave, explaining how it came to be and what its features are. She also looks at authoritarians themselves, focusing in particular on the techniques they use to take power, the strategies they use to survive, and how they fall.

As she demonstrates, understanding how politics works in authoritarian regimes and recognizing the factors that either give rise to them or trigger their downfall, remains as important as ever. This book paves the ways for such an understanding. Authoritarianism is a clear and concise overview that provides readers with a context for making sense of one of the most important-and most worrying-developments in contemporary world politics.
