How Xi Jinping, Putin, Khamenei & Co. are acquiring money, power and impunity while destroying our democracy: A cutting-edge analysis of the new authoritarian networks
PEACE PRIZE OF THE GERMAN BOOK TRADE 2024 FOR THE COMPLETE WORKS OF ANNE APPLEBAUM
In the 21st century, autocratic rule no longer consists solely of a tyrant at the top who oppresses his people by force: today, autocracies are run by sophisticated networks and a new international autocratic alliance has formed, as bestselling author Anne Applebaum shows in her new book. From China to Belarus, from Syria to Russia, today's autocrats support each other with resources and equipment made in Iran, Myanmar or Venezuela: from propaganda troll farms and bots to investment opportunities for their corrupt state-owned companies and the exchange of state-of-the-art surveillance technologies. Applebaum reveals how the world's dictators work together behind the scenes, using aggressive tactics to provide each other with security and impunity. And it makes clear how this autocratic alliance is undermining our democracy.
