Abstract

Political trials are often seen as legal theatre, or a distraction from the reality of repressive punishment. But according to Fiona Shen-Bayh’s new book, these proceedings often serve a distinct purpose in defusing threats to autocratic survival. These findings ask us to rethink strategies of judicial repression and their implications for the rule of law.
