Are public protests challenging authoritarian regimes around the world?

This new episode looks at recent large-scale public protests in Russia, China and Iran including what has sparked them and what they tell us about the balance of power of these regimes.

Dr Jane Hayward, a lecturer in China and Global Affairs at King’s Lau China Institute, Dr Maxim Alyukov,a postdoctoral fellow at King’s Russia Institute, and Ahou Koutchesfahani, a PhD candidate in our War Studies Department, look at the effects of the protests and the response of those in power to the public dissent. They also explore whether the protests are a sign that authoritarian regimes are losing their grip or whether those in power might use them to justify increasing control.
