Abstract
A key feature of contemporary autocracy is the incorporation of seemingly democratic institutions. Nearly every autocracy now holds regular multiparty elections and allows legislative bodies to operate. Based on his research, Yonatan Morse highlights how autocrats hedge against the risk of power-sharing through candidate selection to consolidate their power.
