Ruling Party Personalism and Central Bank Independence
Democratic Backsliding and Endogenous Polarization
Leading accounts of contemporary democratic decline emphasize the role of polarization in enabling incumbent governments to dismantle democracy from within. This study offers a fuller portrait of this relationship, illustrating how incumbent attacks on democracy themselves produce polarization. We theorize a micro-level link between democratic backsliding events, elite opinion formation, and voter polarization to explain how incumbent efforts to …
The Origins of Elected Strongmen
Since the end of World War II, democracies typically fell apart by coup d’état or through force. Today, however, they are increasingly eroding at the hands of democratically elected incumbents, who seize control by slowly chipping away at democratic institutions. To better understand these developments, this book examines the role of personalist political parties, or parties that exist primarily to further their leader’s career as opposed to prom…
After Putin
Personalist ruling parties in democracies
This study introduces a new data set on personalism in ruling parties across the world’s democracies. We conceptualize party personalism as the extent to which parties are vehicles to advance leaders’ personal political careers such that the leader has more control over the party than do other senior party elites and compare this concept with related ones. After describing the measurement strategy and demonstrating measurement reliability and val…
How Personalist Politics Is Changing Democracies
Observers have expressed concerns that democratic politics is growing more personalistic. The absence of cross-national time-series data capturing personalism in democracies, however, has made it difficult to assess the validity of these observations. This study fills that gap. It covers a time-varying index of personalism in the world's democracies from 1991 to 2020. The index combines original data measuring indicators of personalism with exist…
Personalization of Power and Repression in Dictatorships
This article uses new data measuring gradations of personalism in authoritarian regimes to evaluate the relationship between concentration of power and patterns of repression. It shows that the personalization of power in dictatorships leads to an increase in repression and, thus, a decrease in respect for human rights. Given the rise in personalism we are witnessing globally, the findings of this study imply that repression is likely to become m…

The Global Rise of Personalized Politics
No one would dispute that power in Russia today lies firmly in the hands of President Vladimir Putin. But his command over the political system was not always so sweeping. When Putin assumed power
The Evolution of Autocracy
The twenty-first-century autocrat is not the same as his Cold War predecessor
Pathways to democratization in personalist dictatorships
Personalist dictatorships make up an increasingly large proportion of the world's dictatorships. Moreover, they tend to be particularly resistant to democratization. Understanding the conditions that increase the likelihood of democratic transitions in personalist contexts, therefore, is critical for the study and practice of democratization in the contemporary era. This study argues that political party creation is a key factor. Though personali…
When Dictators Die
Eleven of the world’s 55 dictators are 69 years old or older and are in varying stages of declining health. At first blush, this paints a hopeful picture for democracy scholars who have documented a slow but steady authoritarian resurgence. Yet this article reveals that the advanced age of 20 percent of the world’s autocrats offers little hope for a reversal of this trend. Rather than creating a space for change, the passing of these leaders will…
Mimicking Democracy to Prolong Autocracies
The article discusses the role of pseudo-democratic institutions in the resilience of autocratic regimes. According to the authors, authoritarian governments have become more skilled at manipulating these institutions since the end of the Cold War, leading to longer-lasting dictatorships. It is suggested that the legalization of opposition political parties and their incorporation into legislative bodies and regular elections can often be a sign …
How Autocracies Fall
The article discusses the failures of autocratic governments and dictators in relation to mass uprisings and military coups. Topics include international cooperation in promoting democratization of autocracies, the effectiveness of revolts and revolutions, and the impact of violence on potential democratization after a regime change. Also addressed are the role of regime elites in the stability of autocracies, the role of mass demonstrations in p…
A dictator's toolkit
A dictator's motivation for using repression is fairly clear, but why some repress more than others or favor particular types of repressive strategies is less obvious. Using statistical analysis, this article demonstrates that a dictator's reliance on co-optation fundamentally alters how repression is used. Specifically, it finds that co-optation through the use of political parties and a legislature creates incentives that lead dictators to decr…
Purchasing Power
This article examines the link between oil abundance and regime durability by providing insight into how and why oil-rich leaders use elections to maintain power. Using data from presidential elections in Central Asia, the article argues that oil-rich leaders are better able to manipulate their economies in the run-up to elections than their resource-poor counterparts. Oil-rich leaders use oil profits to increase pre-electoral spending to increas…
Political Insecurity and Oil
Ilham Aliyev in Azerbaijan faced greater within-regime opposition than did Nursultan Nazarbayev in Kazakhstan when their countries began to reap oil revenues. This difference affected the expected tenure in office of each president and helps account for Azerbaijan's lower foreign savings
