«Abbiamo tutti in mente la tipica immagine di uno stato autocratico. C'è un cattivo al vertice, che controlla l'esercito e la polizia. L'esercito e la polizia minacciano il popolo con la violenza. Ci sono collaboratori malvagi, e magari qualche coraggioso dissidente.» Tuttavia, per Anne Applebaum, saggista e vincitrice del premio Pulitzer, questa convinzione diffusa altro non è che un anacronismo. Nel XXI secolo, infatti, una simile rappresentazione delle Autocrazie ha scarsa attinenza con la realtà e per di più ne ignora del tutto l'evoluzione.

Very few would overtly espouse the cause of dictatorship, absolute monarchy, or oligarchy as the most desirable political system upon which to base the government of any country.

The United States of America has been the most powerful country in the world for more than 70 years, but recently the US National Security Strategy declared that the return of great power competition with Russia and China is the greatest threat to US national security. Further, many analysts predict that America's autocratic rivals will have at least some success in disrupting - and, in the longer term, possibly even displacing - US global leadership. Brilliant and engagingly written, The Return of Great Power Rivalry argues that this conventional wisdom is wrong.
