As new research by comparative political scientists increasingly turns to the topic of authoritarian resilience, scholars explored the international dimensions of authoritarianism in the February 2015 issue of APSA-CD Newsletter. The issue featured three articles discussing definitions and classifications of the international dimensions of authoritarianism, as well as two articles exploring the impact of authoritarian regimes in Russia and China on the prospects for democracy in neighboring states.
