Reviews

An extremely timely volume that leverages in-depth comparative inquiry among three generations of top Russia and China scholars to analyze contrasting patterns of dictatorship. A must-read for understanding state-society relations in today's illiberal-leaning global political climate. * Andrew Mertha, author of Brothers in Arms: Chinese Aid to the Khmer Rouge, 1975-1979 * Must-read material for students, journalists, and activists interested in how authoritarian politics works in the world's most influential non-democratic states. The volume takes seriously the too-often neglected fact that today's authoritarian leaders must govern as well as rule, must negotiate as well as dictate. With chapters written by a who's who of scholars of contemporary Russia and China, the book compares two authoritarian giants, whose different systems offer a fascinating range of similarities and contrasts. The result is a series of important lessons for those interested in the broader issues of how authoritarian rule survives-even thrives-in a globalizing world. * Graeme B. Robertson, author of Putin V. the People *
