The Authoritarian Political Systems Group (APSG) brings together researchers studying authoritarian politics across the globe.
The Group’s mission is to advance academic research on authoritarian regimes while developing an international community of scholars working on these topic. We place particular emphasis on supporting early-career researchers and on connecting researchers working on different aspects of autocracies and with different regional concentrations.
At the heart of our group is our bi-weekly workshop featuring early-career researchers presenting their ongoing work on authoritarian politics. In addition, we also organize a dedicated in-person pre-EPSA Mini-Conference on authoritarian politics, as well as other panels and social events at international conferences. We also host a mailing list in which we share updates on our activities.
