🧐 The book comprehensively analyses how constitutional amendments serve as strategic tools for regime stability in autocracies based on both in depth case studies and a large-N analysis of amendments in autocracies since 1918.

🤓 On Wednesday, 25 February 2026, 14:00-15:30 CET, we will be discussing Anna Fruhstorfer's anticipated monograph, Constitutional Change under Autocracy, just out with Oxford University Press.
