Natasha Lindstaedt, one of the finest experts in comparative authoritarianism worldwide, provides a thought-provoking synopsis of what we know about authoritarian regimes today. It is such an informative and nuanced tour d′horizon that I can only warmly recommend that you go and buy this book! -- Johannes Gerschewski Concise, insightful, full of illustrative examples, and beautifully written, Prof. Lindstaedt’s  book is an absolute must for anyone interested in understanding modern authoritarianism, its strategies of survival, the role of protest campaigns in destabilising such regimes and the (many) policy implications of these issues.  -- Abel Escribà-Folch Dictators and dictatorships are an increasingly prominent part of the international landscape, yet their motivations and policies are poorly understood. Written by the utmost authority in the field, this brilliant book succinctly summarizes the state-of-art research on authoritarianism including on the new forms of autocracy and authoritarian behaviour. -- Alexander Baturo
