Opposition Pre-Electoral Coalitions and the Fate of Electoral Authoritarian Regimes: A Macro- and Micro-Level Analysis
I am interested in the impact of opposition parties’ electoral strategies on the fate of authoritarian regimes. This study focuses on pre-electoral coalitions between opposition parties, analyzing their effects both theoretically and empirically. The findings of this study will contribute to a deeper understanding of the role of opposition parties in elections, an essential institution to the vast majority of contemporary political regimes.
