However, autocrats face threats from both the inside and the outside of the center of power. They must avoid popular rebellion and at the same time share power with strategic actors who enjoy incentive to challenge established power-sharing arrangements whenever repression is ordered. Can autocrats turn repression in a way that allows trading one threat off against the other? This chapter first argues that prior research offers scant insight on that question because it relies on umbrella concepts and questionable measurements of repression. Next, the chapter disaggregates repression into restrictions and violence and reflects on their drawbacks. Citizens adapt to the restriction of political civil liberties, and violence backfires against its originators. Hence, restrictions require enforcement, and violence requires moderation. When interpreted as complements, it becomes clear that restrictions and violence have the potential to compensate for their respective weaknesses. The complementarity between violence and restrictions turns political repression into a valuable addition to the authoritarian toolkit. The chapter concludes with an application of these ideas to the twin problems of authoritarian control and power-sharing.}, language = {en} } @article{Tanneberg2020, author = {Tanneberg, Dag}, title = {How to measure dictatorship, dissent, and political repression}, series = {The politics of repression under authoritarian rule}, journal = {The politics of repression under authoritarian rule}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-030-35477-0}, issn = {2198-7289}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-35477-0_3}, pages = {43 -- 75}, year = {2020}, abstract = {This chapter operationalizes the three fundamental concepts of this study. It outlines what counts as authoritarian rule, it explains how to recognize dissent in non-democratic contexts, and it debates how to quantify repression in the shadow of the politicized discourse on human rights. First, the chapter opts to classify every political regime as authoritarian that fails to elect its executive or legislature in free and competitive elections. Second, the chapter proposes to see dissent through the lens of campaigns, i.e., series of connected contentious events that involve large-scale collective action and formulate far-reaching political demands. Finally, after some elaboration on the problems involved in measuring political repression reliably and validly, the chapter turns to rescaled versions of the Human Rights Protection Scores 2.04 and the V-Dem 6.2 political civil liberties index as indicators for violence and restrictions. This choice of indicators of repression is, finally, defended against three central objections: the separability of violence from restrictions, the so-called information paradox, and, finally, differences in the timing of violence and restrictions.}, language = {en} } @misc{Knobloch2021, author = {Knobloch, J{\"o}rn}, title = {Rezension zu: Manow, Philip: (Ent‑)Demokratisierung der Demokratie. - Berlin: Suhrkamp, 2020. - 215 S. - ISBN: 978-3-518-76552-4}, series = {Politische Vierteljahresschrift : PVS : German political science quarterly / hrsg. vom Vorstand der Deutschen Vereinigung f{\"u}r Politikwissenschaft}, volume = {62}, journal = {Politische Vierteljahresschrift : PVS : German political science quarterly / hrsg. vom Vorstand der Deutschen Vereinigung f{\"u}r Politikwissenschaft}, number = {1}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-518-12753-7}, issn = {0032-3470}, doi = {10.1007/s11615-020-00292-w}, pages = {171 -- 173}, year = {2021}, language = {de} } @article{Adamik2021, author = {Adamik, Verena}, title = {Making worlds from literature}, series = {Thesis eleven : critical theory and historical sociology}, volume = {162}, journal = {Thesis eleven : critical theory and historical sociology}, number = {1}, publisher = {Sage}, address = {London}, issn = {0725-5136}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1177/0725513621993308}, pages = {105 -- 120}, year = {2021}, abstract = {While W.E.B. Du Bois's first novel, The Quest of the Silver Fleece (1911), is set squarely in the USA, his second work of fiction, Dark Princess: A Romance (1928), abandons this national framework, depicting the treatment of African Americans in the USA as embedded into an international system of economic exploitation based on racial categories. Ultimately, the political visions offered in the novels differ starkly, but both employ a Western literary canon - so-called 'classics' from Greek, German, English, French, and US American literature. With this, Du Bois attempts to create a new space for African Americans in the world (literature) of the 20th century. Weary of the traditions of this 'world literature', the novels complicate and begin to decenter the canon that they draw on. This reading traces what I interpret as subtle signs of frustration over the limits set by the literature that underlies Dark Princess, while its predecessor had been more optimistic in its appropriation of Eurocentric fiction for its propagandist aims.}, language = {en} } @article{Zimmering2022, author = {Zimmering, Raina}, title = {Zeitwende auf lateinamerikanisch?}, series = {Welttrends : das außenpolitische Journal}, volume = {30}, journal = {Welttrends : das außenpolitische Journal}, number = {193}, publisher = {WeltTrends}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-947802-92-0}, issn = {0944-8101}, pages = {35 -- 38}, year = {2022}, language = {de} } @article{Crome2022, author = {Crome, Erhard}, title = {In tempore belli 2022}, volume = {30}, number = {193}, publisher = {WeltTrends}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-947802-92-0}, issn = {0944-8101}, pages = {22 -- 28}, year = {2022}, language = {de} } @book{Zimmering2010, author = {Zimmering, Raina}, title = {Die Zapatistas in Mexiko : der antisystemische und antietatistische Charakter einer popul{\"a}ren Bewegung}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsvverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-046-5}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-41296}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {49}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Wie kaum eine andere soziale Bewegung der letzten 25 Jahre erfuhren die Zapatisten eine weltweite, breite Rezeption.
