But even as urgent struggles continue, it remains clear that authoritarianism will survive this transformational moment. The study of authoritarian governance, therefore, remains essential for our understanding of the political dynamics and inner workings of regimes across the region. This volume considers the Syrian and Iranian regimes—what they share in common and what distinguishes them. Too frequently, authoritarianism has been assumed to be a generic descriptor of the region and differences among regimes have been overlooked. But as the political trajectories of Middle Eastern states diverge in years ahead, with some perhaps consolidating democratic gains while others remaining under distinct and resilient forms of authoritarian rule, understanding variations in modes of authoritarian governance and the attributes that promote regime resilience becomes an increasingly urgent priority.Stanford studies in Middle Eastern and Islamic societies and cultures.AuthoritarianismSyriaAuthoritarianismIranSyriaPolitics and governmentIranPolitics and governmentElectronic books.AuthoritarianismAuthoritarianism320.955MH 60600rvkHeydemann Steven464886Leenders Reinoud1039730MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462496003321Middle East authoritarianisms2475756UNINA$56.2512/26/2019Poli
