商品描述
Against the backdrop of rising authoritarianism, this open access edited volume investigates how states--small and large, strong and weak--silence critics across borders. This focus on transnational authoritarianism is underexplored in scholarship, and even more so for states in South and Southeast Asia--which many of our cases draw from. While NGO reports, including those by Freedom House, have exposed physical attacks, they rarely address subtler methods used to target exiles. Drawing on analyses and interviews with those directly familiar with these dynamics, the collection examines tactics such as digital surveillance, emotional blackmail, enforced family isolation, psychological harassment, imprisonment of relatives on fabricated charges, and harassment of family businesses through surprise audits. These non-physical measures can be as effective as physical attacks, yet often evade media attention. The goal of transnational authoritarianism is clear: silence exiled critics, restrict alternative information, and shape global opinion. This collection reveals the long reach of strongmen regimes and their determination to control narratives at home and abroad.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
在日益上升的威權主義背景下，本開放存取的編輯專著探討了各國——無論大小、強弱——如何在跨國界沉默批評者。對於跨國威權主義的關注在學術界尚未得到充分探討，尤其是對於南亞和東南亞的國家——我們的許多案例正是來自這些地區。雖然包括自由之家（Freedom House）在內的非政府組織報告揭露了身體攻擊的情況，但它們很少涉及針對流亡者所使用的更微妙的方法。這本專集基於對直接熟悉這些動態的人的分析和訪談，檢視了數位監控、情感勒索、強迫家庭隔離、心理騷擾、以捏造罪名監禁親屬，以及通過突擊審計騷擾家庭企業等戰術。這些非身體措施的效果可以與身體攻擊相當，但往往逃避媒體的關注。跨國威權主義的目標非常明確：沉默流亡批評者、限制替代資訊並塑造全球輿論。這本專集揭示了強人政權的長期影響力及其在國內外控制敘事的決心。
