Resumen

Descripción general del contenido del recurso.

This critical review examines Michael McFaul’s Autocrats vs. Democrats by interrogating its core analytical framework and normative assumptions. While the book presents itself as a comparative analysis of regime types in contemporary great power competition, this review argues that McFaul’s interpretation is deeply shaped by biographical experience and domestic political positioning within the United States. The study highlights how the author’s emphasis on power distribution, regime type, and individual leadership as primary explanatory variables fails to account for key empirical developments, particularly the deterioration of U.S.–Russia relations during the 2000–2008 period, when neither regime types nor material power capabilities changed significantly. The review further challenges McFaul’s depiction of Russia and China as existential threats to democratic Europe, demonstrating that European policy choices reflect a more limited and managed threat perception. It also critiques the compression of nearly three centuries of U.S.–Russia and U.S.–China relations into a single analytical section, arguing that this approach sacrifices historical depth and analytical precision. Finally, the review contends that Autocrats vs. Democrats functions not only as a work on global order, but also as a normative reinterpretation of U.S. domestic political conflict, particularly through its anti-Trump framing of recent American foreign policy. In this sense, the book illustrates the limits of regime-based explanations and reveals how liberal internationalist narratives can blur the boundary between analysis and political advocacy.
