Description

British Journal of Political Science. — 45 р. Political institutions in authoritarian regimes are important tools through which elites structure political order. But they are also, fundamentally, vulnerable to strategic manipulation by these same elites. This is the central dilemma confronting the new literature on institutions in authoritarian regimes. This institutional turn in comparative authoritarianism is a consequence of comparativists’ renewed efforts to make general statements about the ways in which authoritarian regimes vary. Much current research draws attention to the role of formal political institutions—in particular, dominant parties that oversee national legislatures—in undergirding authoritarian rule.
