2011年初的事态发展使中东的政治格局发生了变化，但这是可以辨认的。尽管紧迫的斗争仍在继续，但很明显，威权主义将在这一变革时刻幸存下来。因此，对威权治理的研究对于我们理解整个地区政权的政治动态和内部运作仍然至关重要。本书的作者考虑了叙利亚和伊朗政权的共同点和区别。威权主义经常被认为是该地区的通用描述，而政权之间的差异被忽视了。但是，随着中东国家在未来几年的政治轨迹出现分歧，一些国家可能巩固民主成果，而另一些国家仍处于独特而有弹性的专制统治形式下，了解专制治理模式的变化以及促进政权弹性的属性成为越来越紧迫的优先事项。
The developments of early 2011 have left the political landscape of the Middle East changed but recognizable. Even as urgent struggles continue, it remains clear that authoritarianism will survive this transformational moment. The study of authoritarian governance, therefore, remains essential for our understanding of the political dynamics and inner workings of regimes across the region. The contributors to this volume consider the Syrian and Iranian regimes—what they share in common and what distinguishes them. Too frequently, authoritarianism has been assumed to be a generic descriptor of the region, and differences among regimes have been overlooked. But as the political trajectories of Middle Eastern states diverge in years ahead, with some perhaps consolidating democratic gains while others remaining under distinct and resilient forms of authoritarian rule, understanding variations in modes of authoritarian governance and the attributes that promote regime resilience becomes an increasingly urgent priority.
