Constitutions in authoritarian regimes are often denigrated as
meaningless exercises in political theater. Yet the burgeoning
literature on authoritarian regimes more broadly has produced a wealth
of insights into particular institutions such as legislatures, courts
and elections; into regime practices such as co-optation and
repression; and into non-democratic sources of accountability. In this
vein, this volume explores the form and function of constitutions in
countries without the fully articulated institutions of limited
government. The chapters utilize a wide range of methods and focus on
a broad set of cases, representing many different types of
authoritarian regimes. The book offers an exploration into the
constitutions of authoritarian regimes, generating broader insights
into the study of constitutions and their functions more generally.
