Synopsis

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.

    In the wake of taking Constantinople, the Ottoman Empire would spend the next few centuries expanding its size, power, and influence, bumping up against Eastern Europe and becoming one of the world’s most important geopolitical players. It would take repeated efforts by various European coalitions to prevent a complete Ottoman takeover of the continent, and one of the most important battles among those efforts took place at Vienna in 1529. At the time, the Ottomans were led by one of their most famous sultans, Suleiman the Magnificent, and different chroniclers have analyzed Suleiman's behavior in different ways. There is a plethora of opinions as to his motives for attempting the takeover of Vienna, a well-guarded city far away from his empire's center. Had he intended to conquer the whole of the Holy Roman Empire? Had he intended to strengthen his borders? Had he acted in accordance with King Francis I’s needs in the West? No matter the reason, Suleiman did not halt in his advances, despite the fact circumstances were not favorable for the Ottomans.  
    	The long conflict between the Habsburgs and the Ottomans would finally come to a head in 1683 outside the city of Vienna, the center of Habsburg power in central Europe. It would be no exaggeration to say that the fighting around Vienna represented one of the most important battles not only in the conflict between Islam and Christendom, but in the entire history of the world. If the Habsburgs had lost that battle, it is highly likely that Islamic civilization rather than Christian would dominate much of Europe.

    A nuanced take on how carceral expansions are changing labor and social life. In Carceral Citizens, anthropologist Caroline M. Parker offers an ethnographic portrait of therapeutic communities in Puerto Rico, the oldest colony in the Americas. As nonprofits nested within the carceral state, therapeutic communities serve as reeducation and recovery centers for the mostly male drug offenders who serve out their sentences engaged in manual labor and prayer. The most surprising aspect of these centers, however, is that their “graduates” often remain long after the completion of their term, working as self-appointed peer counselors in a mixture of volunteer and low-wage positions. Parker seeks to explain this dynamic by showing how, in these therapeutic communities, criminalized men find new and meaningful ways of living in the shadow of the prison. Through their participation in the day-to-day functioning of the centers, they discover and cultivate alternative forms of belonging, livelihood, and citizenship, despite living within the restrictions of the carceral state. Situating her study against the backdrop of Puerto Rico’s colonial history, and with findings that extend across Latin America, Parker challenges common assumptions about confinement, labor, and rehabilitation. By delving into lives shaped by the convergence of imperialism, the carceral state, and self-help, she offers a fresh understanding of the transformations of labor and social life brought about by mass incarceration.
