The Authoritarian Playbook
June General Meeting - The Authoritarian Playbook
Note- we did not video record this meeting.
Our featured speaker was Professor Amy Below, a professor at California State University, East Bay who is a teacher-scholar of international relations and comparative politics. with a regional emphasis of the Americas.
Professor Below discussed techniques authoritarians have used to gain power in other countries - shifting the power from the people to one ruler or set of rulers. She compared the various tactics strongmen use to gain and retain power to what is currently occurring in our country. Her presentation slides can be found here. A presentation about safety at rallies followed Professor Below's talk.
