In The Pitfalls of Family Rule, Barbara Junisbai questions the conceptual divide separating democracy from non-democracy, as well as the conceptual divide separating "strong" authoritarian rulers from "weak" ones. Focusing on patronage, endemic to post-Soviet Eurasia, but also present the world over, she untangles the spoils agreements that bind elites to strong-man presidents.
