Hopes for other outcomes assume a degree of policy responsiveness autocrats don't need to have once checks and balances are weakened.

1. Protests and organising will continue, 2. People will vote against Rep but 2yrs until midterms is long, so no immediate satisfactory effects, 3. The admin will moderate policies a tiny bit in response but not enough to ensure return to RoL and improve economy -- apathy ensues?

I don't have a subscription and can't read it. Maybe Ignatieff acknowledges his failures and draws lessons from them in the piece. But he certainly doesn't have a recipe for how to save an institution in the face of a hostile state (I'm not sure anyone does, barring collaboration).

CEU alumna here. Not sure I'd take lessons here. The international PR campaign was great but ultimately Orbán won 100%. The uni is out and struggling to survive as an institution in flux. And this was a school with massive own resources, not dependent on the govt for anythg but admin tolerance.

It makes sense that China and Russia dominate the literature - small countries have a smaller pool of people capable of abba willing to gather data in an opaque, possibly dangerous regime.
But not all authoritarian regimes are necessarily very secretive.

It is remarkable (compared to other backsliding regimes) how brazen and transparent Trump is in targeting his "enemies." In Turkey, it would take months and an enterprising journalist to uncover that a university had its funds cut off, a firm blacklisted, contracts rescinded, or thousands fired.
