- Why autocracies get more repressive when opening their economies
The article discusses how autocracies become more repressive when opening their economies, citing the V-Dem Project's finding that 41% of the global population live in autocratizing countries. It references a 'third wave of autocratization' that has pushed democracy back to levels last seen in 1978.
