In our Meet the Book Author Series, the Journal of Law and Society and the Centre of Law and Society provide first-hand accounts from authors who have recently contributed notable socio-legal books to their respective fields. In this post, we hear from Richard Abel, who has published three thematically connected books with Routledge: How Autocrats Abuse Power and How Autocrats Attack Expertise (both published in December 2023), and finally, How Autocrats Seek Power, due for publication in March 2024
