Despite the much-vaunted 'triumph of democracy', much of the world is still ruled by political or military dictatorships. Paul Brooker's book provides a comprehensive assessment of the nature of authoritarian regimes, their changing character in the post-Cold War world, and the main theoretical explanations of their incidence, character and performance.
