"Dictators and Dictatorships is a qualitative enquiry into the politics of authoritarian regimes. It argues that political outcomes in dictatorships are largely a product of leader-elite relations. Differences in the internal structure of dictatorships affect the dynamics of this relationship. This book shows how dictatorships differ from one another and the implications of these differences for political outcomes. In particular, it examines political processes in personalist, military, single-party, monarchic, and hybrid regimes. The aim of the book is to provide a clear definition of what dictatorship means, how authoritarian politics works, and what the political consequences of dictatorship are. It discusses how authoritarianism influences a range of political outcomes, such as economic performance, international conflict, and leader and regime durability. Numerous case studies from around the world support the theory and research presented to foster a better understanding of the inner workings of authoritarian regimes. By combining theory with concrete political situations, the book will appeal to undergraduate students in comparative politics, international relations, authoritarian politics, and democratization."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

This book is about the radical novelty of modern polities in a functionally differentiated world society. Premodern states were at the apex of a stratified, hierarchical society. They dominated society and all its groups and strata. Modern polities have to be understood through the ecology of relations among different function systems. They have to find and incessantly redefine their place in society. They produce decisions that are collectively binding, but in preparing these decisions experience constraints and knowledge deficiencies that are related to the complexity of a functionally differentiated society. The book concentrates on six analytical perspectives that reflect how modern polities are embedded into 21st century society. These perspectives are: the concept of inclusion and the inclusion revolution constitutive of modern polities; the internal differentiation of polities that endows them with an unprecedented complexity; the fact that polities do not know anything about society and the ways in which they compensate for this; representation and responsiveness as strategies to reconnect with society; the self-restriction of some polities that brings about ever new autonomous expert organizations; the symmetrical rise of autocracies and democracies as the two modern variants of political regimes.

Der Konflikt zwischen der Hugenottenmetropole La Rochelle und der französischen Krone zwischen 1568 und 1630, der in der spektakulären Belagerung von 1628/29 gipfelte, war ein Kampf um die Legitimation von Herrschaft im frühneuzeitlichen Frankreich. Die neuartige Ideologie der Absoluten Monarchie steht dabei traditionellen, an Konsens und Privilegienwahrung interessierten Modellen gegenüber. Die Studie zeichnet die Durchsetzung dieses "Pilotprojekts Absolutismus" nicht nur als rein ideengeschichtlichen Prozess nach, sondern verortet diesen in konkreten politischen und konfessionellen Auseinandersetzungen zwischen der monarchischen Zentrale und ihrem "Anderen", der reformierten Stadtrepublik La Rochelle am Atlantiksaum. Die Idee der Absoluten Monarchie kann so nicht nur als politische Theorie verstanden werden, sondern vor allem als Argumentationsreservoir im Kampf um die politische Ordnung Frankreichs im Zeitalter der Religionskriege.

Kann ein philosophisches Konzept dazu dienen, vergangenheitspolitische Debatten besser zu verstehen? Alexander Hasgall nähert sich dieser Frage anhand der (Nach-)Geschichte der letzten Militärdiktatur Argentiniens an. Er zeigt auf, wie den Opfern massiver Menschenrechtsverletzungen durch Anerkennung neue Formen von Subjektivität zugeschrieben werden können, zugleich aber neue Herrschaftsformen entstehen können. Die mit dem Ende der Ära Kirchner einhergehenden vergangenheitspolitischen Verwerfungen stellen dabei einen besonderen Aktualitätsbezug her. Die Studie richtet sich sowohl an Wissenschaftler_innen als auch an Praktiker_innen, welche sich mit der Frage nach einem angemessenen Umgang mit dem Erbe von Gewaltsystemen beschäftigen. »Hasgall schliesst mit seinem Brückenschlag zwischen Philosophie und Vergangenheitspolitik eine wesentliche Forschungslücke in der deutschen Forschungslandschaft. Seine Ergebnisse ergänzen zudem neuere Erkenntnisse aus der Sozialpsychologie. Sein Werk stellt einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur internationalen Transformations- und Versöhnungsforschung dar und ist nicht nur für Akademiker und Praktiker, sondern auch für politische Entscheidungsträger empfehlenswert.« Maria Palme, Schweizerische Zeitschrift für Geschichte, 69/2 (2019) Besprochen in: Handbook of latin american studies, 74 (2020), Franz Obermeier
