Autocracies in Ascendance? Power Shifts, Regime Diversity, and Global Governance

Abstract

This panel focuses on the rise of authoritarian influence in global governance. The rising power of non-democratic states has produced a new dynamic of regime diversity in global governance. Informal platforms such as the G20 and BRICS+ provide a new focus for global governance that is not based on democratic identity but are driven by more pragmatic concerns. China plays a growing role in such informal forums while increasing its influence in traditional organizations such as the United Nations. This panel focuses on papers that explore the interaction of power shifts, autocratization, and governance complexity.
