External Actors and Authoritarianism

Abstract

This panel will examine the impact that a range of external actors can have on the prospects for authoritarian stability. The external actors include state and non-state actors, and autocracy-supporting actors along with more critical democracy promoters. The panel will examine a range of cases and will include papers that explore regional and/or global patterns of variation using large-n datasets.
