Summary

Authoritarian regimes go to great lengths to dominate spaces for political engagement to control the political narrative and manufacture consent. How do autocrats balance the need for support and information on one hand and control on the other? Chapter 1 introduces two key problems of authoritarian rule – information management and legitimation – and explains how these regimes structure interaction between authorities and the public to overcome these problems.
