| Summary: | "Dictating the Agenda: Authoritarian Resurgence and Influence in the World examines how authoritarian states have repurposed tools, norms, and actors previously used to promote U.S.-backed liberalism, now turning them against liberal ideas. After the Cold War, democratization appeared to signal the decline of authoritarianism, but recent developments show a significant shift. The authors introduce the concept of "authoritarian snapback," in which non-democratic states curb the spread of liberal ideas domestically while promoting anti-liberal norms globally. Drawing on interviews, case studies, and databases, the book demonstrates how authoritarian states challenge Western influence through media agreements, consumer boycotts, and restrictions on foreign journalists. It also offers a fresh perspective on the shifting global political landscape and the limits of liberal influence"-- Provided by publisher. |
