Description

This academic study examines the paradox of why authoritarian regimes hold elections despite their non-democratic nature. Published by Routledge as part of their Elections, Democracy and Autocracy series, the book combines cross-national comparative research with detailed case studies based on recent field work. Rather than treating authoritarian elections as a single phenomenon, it explores how different state capacities and economic control mechanisms shape electoral practices across varied authoritarian contexts. The work offers insights into the conditions that determine when and how authoritarian governments use elections as institutional tools, moving beyond simplistic explanations to reveal the complex relationships between state apparatus, economic governance, and electoral systems in autocratic regimes.

Combines cross-national comparative studies with focused case analyses grounded in recent field research and empirical observation.
