Abstract

This article explores the dynamics of modern authoritarian regimes, using Belarus under Alexander Lukashenko as a case study. By examining Belarus’s transition from a “competitive authoritarian” regime to a “hegemonic authoritarian” one from 1994 to 1996 and its further shift from a spin dictatorship to a fear dictatorship in 2020, the study offers insights into the multifaceted nature of dictatorships. The main findings are that using elections as a means to classify regimes does not fully explain their effect on authoritarian vulnerability and that different classifications of dictatorship, such as spin versus fear, are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

竞争型专制主义、信息型专制主义和独裁统治的发展：白俄罗斯案例研究

本文以亚历山大·卢卡申科(Alexander Lukashenko)统治下的白俄罗斯为例，探讨了现代专制政权的动态。通过研究白俄罗斯从1994年到1996年从“竞争性威权”政权到“霸权威权”政权的转变，以及到2020年从旋转独裁到恐惧独裁的进一步转变，该研究提供了对独裁统治的多面性的见解。研究的主要发现是，将选举作为对政权进行分类的手段，并不能完全解释它们对威权主义脆弱性的影响，而且对独裁政权的不同分类，比如舆论与恐惧，并不一定是相互排斥的。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
