Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Against the backdrop of rising authoritarianism, this open access edited volume investigates how states small and large, strong and weak silence critics across borders. This focus on transnational authoritarianism is underexplored in scholarship, and even m…ore so for states in South and Southeast Asia which many of our cases draw from.While NGO reports, including those by Freedom House, have exposed physical attacks, they rarely address subtler methods used to target exiles. Drawing on analyses and interviews with those directly familiar with these dynamics, the collection examines tactics such as digital surveillance, emotional blackmail, enforced family isolation, psychological harassment, imprisonment of relatives on fabricated charges, and harassment of family businesses through surprise audits. These non-physical measures can be as effective as physical attacks, yetoften evade media attention. The goal of transnational authoritarianism is clear: silence exiled critics, restrict alternative information, and shape global opinion. This collection reveals the long reach of strongmen regimes and their determination to control narratives at home and abroad.
