This project will analyse the dynamics of elite politics in authoritarian polities, focusing in particular upon how members of the elite try to constrain would-be dictators. By showing the different patterns of elite politics in different types of authoritarian systems, the project will interrogate one of the most curious aspects of contemporary international politics, why so many authoritarian regimes have been able to stabilise themselves in an era commonly seen as being one of democratic advance. Understanding authoritarian elite politics and their implications for regime survival is of significant policy interest.

该项目将分析威权政体中精英政治的动态，特别关注精英成员如何试图约束潜在的独裁者。通过展示不同类型的威权体制中精英政治的不同模式，该项目将探讨当代国际政治中最令人好奇的一个方面，即为什么如此多的威权政权能够在一个通常被视为民主进步的时代稳定下来。理解威权精英政治及其对政权生存的影响具有重大的政策意义。
