Abstract

Autocrats utilize (nominally) democratic elections, to claim procedural legitimation. To secure their political survival in these elections, they have an extensive menu of manipulation at their disposal. These manipulations are not only addressed at contestation but also inclusiveness of the elections. Although autocrats formally claim universal suffrage, informal restrictions and practices are implemented. Analyzing elections held between 1970 and 2020 in electoral autocracies, I find empiric evidence for strategic adjustments of suffrage rights as a response to electoral contexts.

选择选民

独裁者利用(名义上的)民主选举来宣称程序上的合法性。为了确保他们在这些选举中的政治生存，他们有一个广泛的操纵菜单可供他们使用。这些操纵不仅在竞选中得到解决，而且在选举的包容性中也得到解决。虽然独裁者正式宣称普选权，但非正式的限制和实践仍在实施。通过分析1970年至2020年在选举专制国家举行的选举，我发现了经验证据，表明选举权的战略调整是对选举环境的回应。

Over the years the journal has published articles by some of the world" leading political scientists, including Arend Lijphart, Samuel Huntingdon, and Philippe Schmitter. It has also featured important contributions from South Africa"s leading political philosophers, political scientists and international relations experts. It has proved an influential journal, particularly in debates over the merits of South Africa"s constitutional reforms (in 1983 and 1994). In the last few years special issues have focused on women and politics in South Africa, and the South African election of 1999.
