Reviews

' ...offers a cutting edge account of active international strategies of authoritarian persistence and survival. Studies of international democracy promotion should take note. Future research will profit by building on the book's analysis well beyond its focus on Putin's Russia.' Peter Burnell, University of Warwick, UK '...offers a compelling framework for how dictators resist internal and external pressure to expand rights and freedoms for their citizens. Authoritarian Backlash contributes to our understanding of Russia as a consolidated dictatorship, rather than democracy, from its chilling portrayal of the Putin Youth to the ominous signs of a budding partnership with other dictatorships around the world.' Joel M. Ostrow, Benedictine University, USA '...Ambrosio's penetrating discussion provides a perceptive, rich and thought provoking analysis of the rhetoric deployed by Putin's regime.' Europe-Asia Studies
