The “dictator’s endgame”: Explaining military behavior in nonviolent anti-incumbent mass protests

Aurel Croissant, David Kuehn, Tanja Eschenauer · 24 Jan 2018

This article introduces a configurative theory to explain military reactions to nonviolent mass protests in dictatorships. An empirical analysis of three cases of such “dictators endgames” (Burma in 1988, Sudan in 1985, and East Germany in 1989), shows that militaries will defend the dictator against the masses if the military leadership’s physical and economic well-being…
