Book review: foreign pressure and the politics of autocratic survival by Abel Escribà-Folch and Joseph Wright

In Foreign Pressure and the Politics of Autocratic Survival, authors Abel Escribà-Folch and Joseph Wright proceed from the belief that democratisation is desirable to examine the effects of various foreign policy approaches on the resilience of autocratic rule. While Max Budra suggests that some of the findings will be familiar to students and scholars working in democracy studies, he nonetheless welcomes the book for providing a framework through which to distinguish between different autocratic regimes.
