"After the gradual slowing down of the "third wave of democratization," electoral authoritarianism is rapidly emerging as a dominant form of contemporary autocracy. Political parties play a key role within the political and institutional structures of electoral autocracies. Pro-regime parties provide the dictatorial executive with electoral and legislative tools of sustaining power. At the same time, permitted opposition parties, while normally incapable of challenging the regime, are important for regime sustainability because they perform such vital functions as co-opting actual or potential opposition groups, facilitating power-sharing, and mobilizing electoral participation. The interactions among the dominant parties and the permitted opposition parties, if displaying sustainable cross-temporal patterns, constitute authoritarian party systems. Authoritarian Party Systems provides a theoretical discussion of electoral authoritarianism with special reference to authoritarian party systems; a methodological overview of party system research with special reference to the problems caused by the authoritarian nature of the observed party systems; a comprehensive cross-regional and historical overview of authoritarian party systems; a quantitative analysis of their structural characteristics, including fragmentation, party system format, volatility, and nationalization; and in-depth discussions of the political regime determinants of authoritarian party systems and of the interplay between party systems and other components of the authoritarian institutional order. Quantitative analysis has been performed on an original database comprising cases of party-structured authoritarian regimes between 1945-2019. This content of the book is illustrated by case studies drawn from across the spectrum of contemporary authoritarian regimes"--

This book examines the role played by the parties themselves in two-party systems. It rejects the argument that the behaviour of the parties is determined largely by social forces or by the supposed logic of the electoral market. Instead, it shows that both structure and agency can matter. It focuses on three major aspects of change in two-party systems: (i) why occasionally major parties ( such as the British Liberals) collapse; (ii) why collapsed parties sometimes survive as minorparties, and sometimes do not; and (iii) what determines why, and how, major parties will ally themselves with mi

L'historienne américaine Anne Applebaum n'est pas la seule à faire le constat alarmant que nos démocraties sont en danger. Mais son expérience - les années qu'elle a passées en Pologne après avoir travaillé à Londres - donne à son regard une acuité que peu d'observateurs possèdent. Son livre nous propose un voyage en Pologne, en Hongrie, au Royaume-Uni puis aux Etats-Unis qui nous conduit de l'intérieur de la droite modérée vers cette nouvelle droite flirtant avec l'illibéralisme et la tentation autoritaire. Son analyse est précise et s'appuie sur une connaissance approfondie des politiques mises en place par Droit et Justice en Pologne ou par le gouvernement Orban en Hongrie, en décrivant notamment les purges dans les administrations, institutions culturelles et médias. Applebaum examine  ensuite les raisons qui ont poussé des hommes comme Boris Johnson à soutenir l'idée du Brexit et comment le mensonge assumé est devenu une arme politique d'une efficacité redoutable. L'hypocrisie, le cynisme, la soif de pouvoir d'une droite prête à tout prend des formes légèrement différentes dans ces pays, mais la tentation de gouverner de manière autoritaire est la même partout, et le trumpisme en fut l'illustration la plus spectaculaire pour Anne Applebaum. Son livre est un cri d'alarme à la fois rigoureusement argumenté et infiniment personnel.Traduit de l'anglais (États-Unis) par Aude de Saint-Loup et Pierre-Emmanuel Dauzat
