Mass participation under autocratic rule
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This dissertation utilizes game theoretic modeling and statistical analysis tools to examine the role that citizens play in contemporary authoritarian politics, and more specifically, their role in overthrowing predatory regimes. I show both theoretically and empirically that contrary to the common view in the literature that focuses mostly on elite politics, the political economy of mass participation influences the survival chances of contemporary autocrats and shapes authoritarian politics.
