Employing the new framework, the book provides incisive analyses of four countries located in four different regions with dissimilar national features - Bangladesh, Bolivia, Hungary, and Turkey, and demonstrates that political developments in these countries have followed a similar, specific pattern resulting in various shades of autocracy. Theoretically enriched and empirically grounded, this exceptionally timely book makes significant contribution to the democratic backsliding literature while offering insights on how to forestall an autocratic era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ali Riaz, MD Sohel Rana\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9819975794\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789819975792\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/14\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.50d","brand":"Ali Riaz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44829428842751,"sku":"9789819975792","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ba3ca10-cd25-496e-9948-c13618df7d16.jpg?v=1708450775","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-autocrats-rise-ali-riaz-9789819975792","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
