Reviews
"Authoritarianism not only endures but is thriving in the twenty-first century. As dictatorships continue to shape politics across much of the globe, it has become clear that we need to better understand what engenders and sustains them. Authoritarianism: A Very Short Introduction is the place to start. For anyone teaching or learning about the causes, durability, and legacies of authoritarian rule, Loxton's insightful and masterfully-written book should be the first off the shelf." -- Steven Levitsky, David Rockefeller Professor of Latin American Studies and Professor of Government, Harvard University"A sharp, accessible introduction to a critical political phenomenon. This indispensable and incisive book shows how to recognize authoritarian regimes, how they are born, how they survive, how they die--and how their legacies live on." -- Anna Grzymala-Busse, Michelle and Kevin Douglas Professor of International Studies, Stanford University"Given that the majority of human beings live in nondemocratic regimes, any understanding of contemporary politics must begin with authoritarianism. This perceptive, engaging book helps readers understand why both political elites and ordinary citizens routinely resort to autocratic solutions. Loxton brings authoritarian regimes to life in vivid detail." -- Timothy J. Power, Head of Social Sciences Division, Oxford University"Authoritarianism in the 21st century is indeed alive and well, and this introduction lucidly explains what it is, how it functions, and why it endures. Loxton's cogent analysis also illuminates the implications of authoritarian rule for democratic constitutions and political parties, demonstrating the ways in which authoritarianism's influence endures in institutional and behavioral forms." -- Rachel Beatty Riedl, Director of the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies, Cornell University

Synopsis
Authoritarianism is one of the buzzwords of our age. But what is it exactly? This Very Short Introduction provides a comprehensive overview of the world of authoritarian regimes, including military, single-party, and personalist regimes. It considers how understandings of authoritarianism have evolved over time, as well as the curious fact that many authoritarian regimes today hold elections. Drawing on examples from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, James Loxton examines the life cycle of authoritarian regimes. How are they born? What challenges do they face during life? Why do they die? The author shows how factors such as natural resource wealth and cross-border collaboration can contribute to authoritarian durability. He also highlights the disturbing fact that even when authoritarian regimes collapse, voters often use their newfound democratic rights to send former authoritarian officials back to office., In this Very Short Introduction, James Loxton examines the world of authoritarian regimes, including military, single-party, and personalist regimes. Drawing on examples from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, Loxton discusses the "life cycle" of authoritarian regimes. How are they born? What challenges do they face during life? Why do they die? The book considers how factors such as oil can bolster authoritarian regimes and how opposition strategies can undermine them. It also highlights the disturbing fact that even when authoritarian regimes collapse, voters use their newfound democratic rights to send former authoritarian officials back to office., We constantly hear about the threat of authoritarianism, whether in the form of communist China or at the hands of people like Donald Trump in the United States. But what is it exactly? This Very Short Introduction highlights classic forms of authoritarianism and considers the curious fact that many authoritarian regimes today carry out elections.
