EstablishedGeddes (1999) classified authoritarian regimes as personalist, military, single-party or amalgams of these, a typology she later extended with Joseph Wright and Erica Frantz into a dataset of 280 autocratic regimes from 1946 to 2010.EstablishedThe Geddes–Wright–Frantz dataset covers the 280 autocratic regimes in existence from 1946 to 2010 and shows that transitions from one autocracy to another make up about half of all regime changes.
