## About this book

"Many authoritarian regimes, including some of the world's most populous autocracies do not make it clear what views, attitudes, and behaviors people may express openly without being sanctioned. This Element investigates how the uncertainty that this style of rule instills among people impacts the effectiveness of repression in deterring dissent"-- Provided by publisher.
