Attempts to explain authoritarian rule as a function of the interests or needs of the ruler or regime can be misleading. Autocrats Can't Always Get What They Want argues that to understand how authoritarian systems work we need to look not only at the interests and intentions of those at the top, but also at the inner workings of the various parts of the state. Courts, elections, security force structure, and intelligence gathering are seen as structured and geared toward helping maintain the regime. Yet authoritarian regimes do not all operate the same way in the day-to-day and year-to-year tumble of politics. In Autocrats Can't Always Get What They Want, the authors find that when state bodies form strong institutional patterns and forge links with key allies both inside the state and outside of it, they can define interests and missions that are different from those at the top of the regime. By focusing on three such structures (parliaments, constitutional courts, and official religious institutions), the book shows that the degree of autonomy realized by a particular part of the state rests on how thoroughly it is institutionalized and how strong its links are with constituencies. Instead of viewing authoritarian governance as something that reduces politics to rulers' whims and opposition movements, the authors show how it operates--and how much what we call "authoritarianism" varies. 410 0$aWeiser Center for Emerging Democracies series. 517 3 $aAutocrats can not always get what they want 606 $aAuthoritarianism 606 $aDictatorship 606 $aPublic institutions$xManagement 606 $aAutonomy 615 0$aAuthoritarianism. 615 0$aDictatorship. 615 0$aPublic institutions$xManagement. 615 0$aAutonomy. 676 $a320.53 686 $aPOL000000$aPOL007000$aPOL009000$2bisacsh 700 $aBrown$b Nathan J$0661390 701 $aSchaaf$b Steven D$01768766 701 $aAnabtawi$b Samer$01768767 701 $aWaller$b Julian G$01768768 801 0$bEYM 801 1$bEYM 801 2$bEYM 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910879395203321 996 $aAutocrats Can't Always Get What They Want$94233161 997 $aUNINA
