Negative Convergence
A Comparison of Authoritarianism in China and Russia
Deutsche Fassung
Abstract
Autocracy research has flourished in recent decades. This had much to do with developments in Russia and China. The findings provided a picture of modern autocracies that differed from traditional regimes: Russia has been an electoral autocracy since the 1990s, China an institutional one. Since the mid-2010s, both states have developed into the classic type of personalist autoc-racies.
