Description

Autocracy, Inc: The Dictators who Want to Run the World The image of an autocratic state is often one of a single, sinister figure at the helm. However, in the 21st century, autocracies are more complex, with sophisticated networks of kleptocratic financial structures, security services, and professional propagandists working together across borders. These networks operate on a transactional basis, sharing resources and expertise to promote their shared goal: undermining democratic systems and values. The propagandists behind these networks use troll farms and other tactics to spread disinformation and create a sense of unease, often with little regard for ideological or geographical boundaries. This book explores the inner workings of these networks, revealing the ways in which they operate and the shared understanding that drives them. By examining the autocratic networks that seek to undermine democracy, Applebaum sheds light on the challenges facing the democratic world and offers insights into how we can work to counter these threats.
