Making a Career in Dictatorship is written by Christian Gläßel and published by Oxford University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0197831192 (ISBN 10) and 9780197831199 (ISBN 13).
Making a Career in Dictatorship examines the inner workings of dictatorial governments to offer a unified theory explaining which officers participate in repression or in coups--and most importantly, why they do it. Drawing on unprecedented data from inside an authoritarian security apparatus, the book exposes how mundane career pressures--rather than sadism or ideological conviction--drive officers toward extreme loyalty or outright rebellion. And it offers a warning: even in established democracies, weaponized career pressures can lead to catastrophic consequences.
