Summary

Dictatorships And Elections examines the surprising prevalence of elections in authoritarian regimes, exploring how these elections serve as tools of control rather than pathways to democracy. It reveals the strategies used by authoritarian leaders to manipulate electoral processes, maintaining power while projecting an image of legitimacy. The book delves into the mechanics of electoral manipulation, such as voter registration fraud, media control, and suppression of opposition parties, providing insights into the resilience of authoritarian rule.

This book highlights the fact that authoritarian regimes often use elections to co-opt elites, divide the opposition, and signal international support. It challenges the conventional view of elections as inherently democratizing.

Utilizing case studies from around the globe and drawing on political science, historical analysis, and legal studies, the book presents a comprehensive picture of electoral authoritarianism. It progresses from defining key concepts to examining strategic motivations, specific manipulation tactics, and the long-term implications for political stability and democratic transition.

The book's unique value lies in its focus on the micro-level mechanisms of electoral manipulation, offering a nuanced understanding of the strategies employed by both rulers and those challenging them. By understanding these dynamics, readers can gain insights into the challenges faced by pro-democracy movements and the complexities of promoting electoral integrity in authoritarian states.

The Journey - How to Prepare...

Greg Kaplan

Rooted in humorous stories distilled with bits of sagely honest advice, The Journey goes beyond the well-chronicled college admissions madness and cuts to the core of parental angst with concrete suggestions for preparing children for a competitive and rapidly changing world.

Young people face an increasing medley of challenges as they pursue higher education—rising tuition costs, daunting prospective student debt, and a talented and competitive applicant pool. After a decade of preparing students for the ever more difficult admissions process, college counselor Greg Kaplan wishes parents would stop thinking, “What should I do to get my kid into a good college?” and instead ask: “How can I best prepare my child for what comes next?” Having practiced law and worked in investment banking early in his career before pivoting to working with students, parents, and educators, Kaplan knows what the world—and its population of college admissions officers—is looking for in today’s youth and tomorrow's leaders: Grit. Leadership. Passion.

Emphasizing these fundamental tenets of successful adulthood, The Journey paints a realistic picture of the lack of preparedness among today's youth.

Using stories of parents and students who have struggled and succeeded, Kaplan pushes students to consider: What do you want to get out of your college and work career? How can you jumpstart your journey into the real world? He asks parents: Are you preparing your children to attain a life of health, happiness, and financial independence?
