How to Build an Authoritarian Regime

Dela

A while back, Edward Luttwak explained to us how to stage a coup. Julian Waller focuses on the next step: how authoritarian regimes are built and maintained.

We discuss:

* Authoritarian regimes as the historical norm

* Why military juntas don’t last and party states do

* Autocracies: Iran, North Korea, and the Papacy

* How the Kremlin has reacted to the Wagner mutiny

* What a “pacted transition” looks like in Venezuela

* Why the US shouldn’t worry about authoritarianism
