How to Build an Authoritarian Regime
A while back, Edward Luttwak explained to us how to stage a coup. Julian Waller focuses on the next step: how authoritarian regimes are built and maintained. We discuss: * Authoritarian regimes as the historical norm * Why military juntas don’t last and party states do * Autocracies: Iran, North Korea, and the Papacy * How the Kremlin has reacted to the Wagner mutiny * What a “pacted transition” looks like in Venezuela * Why the US shouldn’t worry about authoritarianism This is a public episode.
