Abstract
Abstract This final chapter connects the theory of the authoritarian regulatory state to the larger themes in the study of post-Soviet politics, economic development, authoritarianism, and state governance. It discusses how regulatory state-building in post-Soviet cases can explain ways in which modern authoritarianism oscillates between repression and appeasement, personal freedoms and state control, and the embrace of the neoliberal economic order and the statist economy. The chapter discusses how the authoritarian regulatory state theory can account for various economic, political, and social developments in modern authoritarian regimes, including their ambivalent relationship with corruption and the rule of law, and their selective embrace of neoliberal and developmental agendas. By piecing together different aspects of the regulatory environment analyzed throughout the book, this concluding chapter puts the state regulatory function at the center of the authoritarian state capacity building project.
