"In terms of its theoretical framework, the book represents a new generation of the research into hybrid regimes characterised by a mixture of democratic and authoritarian features. The book contributes to this scholarship by analysing the fragility of post-communist democratic transitions and identifying factors behind their autocratic backsliding. The importance of the book can be seen in the fact that it inspires new debates and a further search for explanations of the failure of democratic consolidation in different post-communist countries."
