为什么一些冷战后的独裁者总是能够排挤反对派，避免削弱精英的叛逃，而另一些独裁者却一再面临挑战？通过采访、媒体和学术文献，本文关注影响现任政府对反对派控制程度的两组因素：国家经济控制程度和国家认同分歧程度。比较了两组最相似的案例：白俄罗斯和乌克兰，肯尼亚和坦桑尼亚。这些比较被用来强调区分民主的原因和威权崩溃的原因的重要性。
Why have some post-Cold War autocrats consistently been able to sideline opposition and avoid debilitating elite defections while others have faced repeated challenges? Drawing on interviews, the media, and the academic literature, this article focuses on two sets of factors affecting the extent of incumbent control over opposition: the degree of state economic control and the extent of divisions in national identity. Two sets of most similar cases are compared: Belarus and Ukraine, and Kenya and Tanzania. These comparisons are used to highlight the importance of distinguishing between the causes of democracy and those of authoritarian breakdown.
