Abstract
Chapter 9 summarizes the findings of the book, discusses their theoretical and policy implications, and concludes. Based on the present analysis, we suggest making a conceptual distinction between dynamic and non-dynamic transitions. In dynamic transitions, the authoritarian government faces massive multi-dimensional pressure, which is related to quick changes in the quantity and quality of protest mobilization. We argue that cross-country variation in the composition of actors and their interaction with the government help explain why we see dynamic transitions in some places and not in others. Lastly, we discuss possible implications that the type of transition, i.e., dynamic vs. non-dynamic, may have for the quality and durability of a resulting democratic rule.
