In The Autocratic Voter, Natalie Wenzell Letsa explores the motivations behind why citizens in electoral autocracies choose to participate in politics and support political parties. With electoral autocracies becoming the most common type of regime in the modern world, Letsa challenges the dominant materialist framework for understanding political behavior and presents an alternative view of partisanship as a social identity. Her book argues that despite the irrationality and obstacles to participating in autocratic politics, people are socialized into becoming partisans by their partisan friends and family. This socialization process has a cascading effect that can either facilitate support for regime change and democracy or sustain the status quo. By delving into the social identity of partisanship, The Autocratic Voter offers a new perspective on political behavior in electoral autocracies that has the potential to shape the future of these regimes.

Nature is so beautiful it must mean something. Christians have seen in the beauty of creation a sign of the beauty of the Creator; the natural world teaches us to know the “author of beauty.” But anyone who starts thinking more seriously about beauty soon runs into more troubling aspects. We’re more awash with images than ever before, many of them doctored or artificial. Any idealized beauty that excludes humankind’s imperfection and vulnerability is prone to becoming inhuman. And even the wholesome beauty of nature or the fine arts is only a partial truth in a world where children starve or are trafficked to abusers. Yet stubbornly, beauty remains. Through trees, gargoyles, paintings, and fellow humans, the writers in this issue ask hard questions to deepen our understanding and appreciation of the good, the true, and the beautiful. On this theme: Natalie Carnes revisits Christianity’s love-hate relationship with sacred art: Are those icons or idols? Brandon Vaidyanathan says his mother’s mental illness changed the way he sees human beauty. Sean Rubin tells how his mother found Jesus at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Sergio Bermudez views Paris from the perspective of Notre-Dame Cathedral’s grotesques and gargoyles. Cardinal Christoph Schönborn reflects on Michaelangelo’s Last Judgement during a conclave. Ben Quash looks at how beauty has shaped Christian imagination, from Absalom’s hair to English gardens. Philip Holsinger sees the future of El Salvador in one bright, carefree child. Caitrin Keiper searches for meaning in the loss of her unborn baby. Chris Voll profiles a sculptor who left a promising career to care for his dying father. Also in this issue: Six new poems by Wendell Berry. Paul Kingsnorth offers six ways to resist the Machine. The Bruderhof’s rule about gossip was written in 1925. Does it still work?
