Consequences of Political Parties and Organizations in Autocracies
Fri, September 16, 2:00 to 3:30pm, TBASession Submission Type: Full Paper Panel
Session Description
This panel explores the consequences of political parties in authoritarian regimes. What factors affect the cohesion of parties and their legislators' goals? What types of parties exist in autocracies, what patterns exist in the policies they pursue, and how do parties prevent elite defection and regime breakdown? How do supporting social groups influence parties' economic policies and performance? By answering these questions with cross-national data as well as detailed case studies, this panel unpacks how political parties shape authoritarian politics.
