Courses by Engy Moussa
Starting with the basics, we explore What is authoritarianism? And what distinguishes authoritarianism from democratic rule? Next, the course discusses three key themes attached to the politics of authoritarianism.
First we look at the most common authoritarian practices that are widely visible across authoritarian regimes, and increasingly being adopted by some established democracies. Second, we explore some of the models of authoritarian rules as well as the different approaches political science scholars adopt when classifying authoritarian regimes. And lastly, we explore the inner dynamics of authoritarianism by looking at four complementary themes: the problem of authoritarian power sharing, authoritarian political parties, the coercive apparatus, and regime cooptation through networks of patronage alongside protection pacts.
