Policies in Authoritarian Regimes

Abstract

Whilst the question of stability has been the central theme in scholarship on non-democratic regimes, we know very little about public policies in these regimes. In contrast to our fine-grained understanding of public policies and their effects in democracies, attempts at theory formation to explain the variation of policies in authoritarian regimes have been rare. This panel goes beyond the question of authoritarian stability, systematically analysing and theoretically explaining the variation of economic and social policies across authoritarian regimes.
