Autocratization in post-Cold War Political Regimes

Autocratization in post-Cold War Political Regimes examines political transitions toward autocracy after the Cold War. The volume addresses an understudied dimension of regime change by analyzing how states move in the opposite direction from democratization.

The text investigates the spread, forms, and modes of autocratization using an original conceptual framework. Across countries with varying historical backgrounds, regime types, and regional environments, the research tracks historical and geographical patterns across cases identified from 1990 to 2015.

Employing descriptive statistical analysis, Qualitative Comparative Analysis, and case study methods, the work offers empirical resources for scholars, analysts, observers, journalists, and practitioners studying comparative regime change.
