| Title | Strategies of regime survival. Application in the closed authoritarian regimes |
| Summary | This thesis studies how autocratic management and ruling is implemented in the context of closed autocracies. A typical case of the closed regime, Uzbekistan during Islam Karimov offers fruitful and understudied filed for formulating hypotheses and drawing inferences. The application of the theory of subnational regimes appears to be informative towards differentiating various strategies of the city center to rule the territories. This thesis looks at two strategies of repressions and authoritarian management of subnational regimes and argues that these strategies of the ruling are connected and predetermine one another. The results reveal links between the two mechanisms. Specifically, intense repressions in the regions foreshadow dismissals of local governors and tend to be especially widespread in the regions with a lower level of economic development. Findings contribute to the broader layer of literature about the connection between two strategies and offer new ways of analyzing closed autocracies. |
