Reviews

The 'third wave' assumption that only (liberal) democracy commands political legitimacy is well past its sell-by date. 'Justifying Dictatorship' offers much needed new perspectives on the highly topical theme of autocratic legitimation. Peter Burnell, Emeritus Professor, University of Warwick, UK.
