Although much of the world still lives under dictatorship, the behaviour of these regimes and of their leaders often appears irrational and mysterious. This book uses rational choice theory to understand dictators: How do 'successful' dictatorships stay in power? What determines the repressiveness of a regime? How do their economies work?
