Authoritarian coalition-building approaches shape post-transition political incentives.
Evidence
We argue that how leaders formed ruling coalitions during the authoritarian era influenced inter-elite dynamics, the relationship between the broader ethnic groups, and the relationship between ethnic leaders and their ethnic communities. The approaches adopted during authoritarian rule had long-lasting legacies by giving rise to different political incentives, for both the incumbent and opposition, when formal institutions shifted with transitions to multiparty politics. — Johan Brosché and Hanne Fjelde and Kristine Höglund, Electoral violence and the legacy of…, 30
