Personal Rule and the Convergence of Governance

Abstract

In recent years, personalist rule has spread around the world. As personalist rule gets upgraded and adopted across regions and regime-type, including in democracies, Africa and the Middle East are looking less exceptional, and mainstream academic theories are being challenged. The 2011 uprisings and their aftermath have destabilized social science thinking about Africa and the Middle East, creating an opportunity for fruitful cross-regional dialogue around concepts like personal rule, regime stability theory, state fragility, and identity politics, a conversation that is more urgent as Middle Eastern states are increasingly involved in the Horn of Africa.
