Political Opposition in Authoritarianism Exit, Voice and Loyalty in Kazakhstan

“Isaacs’ book is recommended for everyone interested in the politics of Kazakhstan. It provides a broad picture of developments within the political regime, rich empirical descriptions and an overview of the relevant literature. At the same time, it contributes to the broader conceptual and theoretical literature with a concise typology of political opposition in authoritarian regimes and with an important causal mechanism explaining the relationship between political regimes and opposition movements over time.” (Heiko Pleines, Europe-Asia Studies, August 31, 2023)
