The three pillars of stability: legitimation, repression, and co-optation in autocratic regimes

Why do some dictators collapse while others remain stable? In this paper, we propose a theoretical framework aimed at explaining the longevity of dictatorship by referring to the three pillars of stability, legalization, suppression, and joint selection. These three causal factors are derived through refinement and integration of the main issues of classical research and recent research. Particular emphasis is placed on reintegrating legitimacy into a stable dictatorship interpretation. This article outlines the three pillars and explains specific measuring methods. Then continue to explain the stabilization process. How do these pillars play a role of stabilization? It is suggested that the reinforcement process takes place between the inside of the pillar and the pillar. They take the form of external reinforcement, self reinforcement and mutual reinforcement. To illustrate the essential logic of these processes, I borrowed empirical examples. I also explained about the need to observe based on experience and the approach to approaching with three pillars in an orderly fashion. It remains sufficiently simple to apply to all authoritarian regimes regardless of its subtype, taking into account the complexity of the authoritarian regime; integrating static perspectives to account for stability . , Emphasize potential stability mechanisms and facilitate comparison within and between cases

Not all governments rely on punishment or surveillance as the central means of control. Instead, it may aim for cooperation (enabling outsiders to build a system and beneficial relationship). Cooperation can take the form of corporatism where the state manages and approves all social and economic systems, or asylum, and the state provides assistance to people providing support. In some cases, asylum may lead to rent or even to theft. Some non-democratic regimes have military rule, the military usually takes control of the government's power through a coup d'etat, usually limits civic freedom and prohibits political parties. Sometimes this takes the form of bureaucratic authoritarianism and it believes that focus on objective, rational and technical expertise Technocratic leaders can solve the country's problems without public participation .

Recent progress is not surprising for former chairman of the Middle East Research Association, Middle East and Islamic research professor of Zachary Lockman. Rockman said: "This is an authoritarian regime that has become more repressive in the past few years." "Unfortunately, such things can be predicted from the beginning." But New York University for the first time funded UAE I plan to use it. When establishing a campus in Abu Dhabi, President John Sexton said he did not believe that academic freedom would arise. In the e-mail sent to New York University students and teachers in October 2007, Sexton revealed that all fees will be paid by the United Arab Emirates, NYUAD said "The same academic quality and practice as New York University Washington It is built according to the criteria ". (When asked if his vision was reached, Sexton is still a professor at New York University and does not answer multiple requests for comment.)

The president of New York University remained silent even after Shiite insisted on discrimination against sects of partner countries in the United Arab Emirates.
