Topic for Fall 2015: Comparative Authoritarianism
This course explores reasons for the persistence and apparent resilience of authoritarianism despite successive “waves” of democracy in the decades since World War II.

What are the limitations of these strategies? Why do mass protests for democracy arise when they do? And how do authoritarian regimes leave legacies long after their collapse?
