Abstract

This panel brings together papers that ask how authoritarian regimes manage threats, engineer political change, and maintain power amid contention, elections, and internal conflict. Across cases of autocratization, nationalist mobilization, military intervention, and elite bargaining, the contributions examine the strategic tools regimes deploy to reshape political order without necessarily relinquishing control. The panel raises broader questions about how regime change unfolds from within, how coercion, mobilization, and institutional manipulation interact, and how authoritarian strategies blur the lines between reform, repression, and corruption.
