“This Encyclopedia is the outcome of an ambitious and massive endeavour. The entries offer not only conceptual clarity and theoretical discussion, but also information on measurement and methodological implications. Such approach represents a great innovation making this work a comprehensive and valuable source of information for anyone interested in autocratic politics.” —Abel Escribà-Folch, Associate Professor of Political Science, Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Catalunya)
