Nic Cheeseman and Brian Klaas present a sobering overview of corrupted professional politics, providing fertile ground for developing new so
In their exciting new book, Nic Cheeseman and Brian Klaas explain how counterfeit democrats use elections to remain in power, and reveal the six essential strategies that dictators use to undermine the electoral process in order to guarantee victory.Based on their first hand experiences as election watchers and hundreds of interviews with presidents, prime ministers, diplomats, election officials, and conspirators, Cheeseman and Klaas document instances of election rigging from Argentina to Zimbabwe, including notable examples from Brazil, Kenya, India, Nigeria, and Russia. This eye-opening study offers a sobering overview of corrupted professional politics, while providing fertile ground for the development of new solutions for protecting democracy from authoritarian subversion.
Nic and Brian’s book How to Rig an Election will be available on the day.
