Verfasser:	Merkel, Wolfgang ; Gerschewski, Johannes
Veröffentlicht:	Mannheim : SSOAR, 2011
Umfang:	Online-Ressource
Format:	E-Book
Sprache:	Englisch

Bemerkung:	Veröffentlichungsversion In: Schlossplatz 3 (2011) 11 ; 14-17
Zusammenfassung:	Abstract: "How can authoritarianism in an age of democratization survive? What are the critical junctures when a dictatorship becomes less stable and potentially fails? In a project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), three pillars of stability of autocratic rule are identified: legitimacy, co-optation, and repression. Referring to historical institutionalism's key concept of critical juncture, the hypothesis is based on the observation that these junctures become regime threatening when a serious crisis in one pillar occurs and the two other pillars can no longer sufficiently compensate this instability."
