Spin dictators : the changing face of tyranny in the 21st century / Sergei Guriev and Daniel Treisman. by Guriev, S. M. Princeton University Press, 2022. Call #: 320.011 G979s Subjects Authoritarianism.   Despotism.   Dictators.   Mass media -- Political aspects.   Propaganda.   Spin doctors. ISBN:  9780691211411 (hc.) Description:  xi, 340 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 269-326) and index. Summary:  "Spin Dictators" traces how leaders such as Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew and Peru's Alberto Fujimori pioneered less violent, more covert, and more effective methods of monopolizing power. They cultivated an image of competence, concealed censorship, and used democratic institutions to undermine democracy, all while increasing international engagement for financial and reputational benefits. The book reveals why most of today's authoritarians are spin dictators and how they differ from the remaining "fear dictators" such as Kim Jong-un and Bashar al-Assad, as well as from masters of high-tech repression like Xi Jinping.--Adapted from jacket.
