The contribution of the article is two-fold. First, I conceptualize the hexagon of authoritarian persistence as a framework to explain how authoritarian regimes manage to survive. The hexagon is based on Gerschewski\u2019s (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/journals\/government-and-opposition\/article\/abs\/many-faces-of-authoritarian-persistence-a-settheory-perspective-on-the-survival-strategies-of-authoritarian-regimes\/7FCA47E0A5C484EB18A0744E04641886#ref20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2013<\/a>) three pillars of stability but proposes some crucial modifications. In contrast to the model of the three pillars, the hexagon can grasp the causal complexity of autocratic survival because it is rooted in set theory and accounts for asymmetric causal relations, conjunctural causation and equifinality. Based on this, it illuminates how authoritarian regimes use multiple, mutually non-exclusive survival strategies.<\/p>\n<p>The second contribution is an empirical exploration which applies the hexagon and provides a case-oriented analysis of 62 persistent and non-persistent authoritarian regimes (1991\u20132010). By using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis, the findings of this assessment illustrate five configurations of the hexagon \u2013 called hegemonic, performance-dependent, rigid, overcompensating and adaptive authoritarianism \u2013 as those combinations of strategies which facilitate authoritarian survival.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/gov.2018.17\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Access to this publication.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>in: Government and Opposition,\u00a055:1, 64-87<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-publication"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
