Yet in post-Soviet countries like Russia, where the middle-class has grown rapidly, authoritarianism is deepening. Challenging a basic tenet of democratization theory, this book shows how the middle-classes can actually be a source of support for autocracy and authoritarian resilience, and reveals why development and economic growth do not necessarily lead to greater democracy.Princeton studies in political behavior.Civil servicePolitical activityFormer communist countriesCase studiesMiddle classPolitical activityFormer communist countriesCase studiesAuthoritarianismFormer communist countriesDemocracyFormer communist countriesDemocratizationFormer communist countriesFormer communist countriesEconomic conditionsFormer communist countriesPolitics and governmentA Middle Class without Democracy.Eastern Europe.Economic Autonomy and Democracy.Eva Bellin.Hybrid Regimes in Russia and Kyrgyzstan.Jie Chen.Kazakhstan.Kelly M.
