By illuminating how and why non-democratic regimes use seemingly democratic practices to entrench their control over society, it helps explain the autocrats' resilience. … the theoretical framework and empirical findings offer valuable lessons for making sense of authoritarian governance around the world. Chapman's insights are particularly pertinent for our digital age, as autocrats adapt new technologies to the enduring problem of maintaining their hold on power.'

In doing so, it demonstrates the conditions under which managed participation can reinforce or jeopardize authoritarian control. Chapters uncover how these tools are viewed from the perspective of the public and the mechanisms through which they influence attitudes toward authorities. By cultivating limited opportunities for participation in otherwise closed political systems, autocrats bolster regime legitimacy while still maintaining control of the means and content of communication. These tools ultimately reinforce and entrench autocratic leaders rather than contributing to increased prospects for democracy – but not without consequences. Combining interviews, original surveys, and text analysis, the book provides a novel theoretical framework for understanding managed participation under authoritarianism and explains both its benefits and potential consequences for authoritarian regimes.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e1.
