这本通俗易懂的书通过提供有关二战后独裁政权如何获得、保留和失去权力的基本事实，揭示了独裁统治的真正运作方式。作者利用新收集的 200 个独裁政权的数据，对独裁政权的主要特征进行了基于证据的描绘。他们研究了影响独裁政权政策选择的核心政治进程，以及它们如何迫使世界其他地区的政策制定者做出反应。重要的是，本书解释了一些独裁者如何将巨大的权力集中在自己手中，而牺牲其他独裁精英成员的利益。能够垄断本国决策的独裁者造成了许多不稳定的、好战的行为，扰乱了世界其他地区。通过描绘独裁政权共有的核心流程，本书以特定国家的经验为视角，从而对事件以及外国对独裁政权的反应可能产生的结果有更深入的了解。
This accessible volume shines a light on how autocracy really works by providing basic facts about how post-World War II dictatorships achieve, retain, and lose power. The authors present an evidence-based portrait of key features of the authoritarian landscape with newly collected data about 200 dictatorial regimes. They examine the central political processes that shape the policy choices of dictatorships and how they compel reaction from policy makers in the rest of the world. Importantly, this book explains how some dictators concentrate great power in their own hands at the expense of other members of the dictatorial elite. Dictators who can monopolize decision making in their countries cause much of the erratic, warlike behavior that disturbs the rest of the world. By providing a picture of the central processes common to dictatorships, this book puts the experience of specific countries in perspective, leading to an informed understanding of events and the likely outcome of foreign responses to autocracies.
