      abstract = {The global trend of increasing violence against the press  has spurred research interest into the questions of where,  why, and how communicators are repressed. As a result,  scholarship has demonstrating that hybrid regimes - which  mix undemocratic and democratic elements - constitute a  specifically dangerous and lethal context for these actors.  Decentralized countries, in which some subnational  political elites have retained authoritarian features, have  been identified as the most perilous context for  communicators. However, despite the burgeoning interest in  illiberal practices and repression on the subnational  level, it is still relatively unexplored how and why  subnational political elites repress communicators within  their multi-level setting. The author argues that  communicators in subnational undemocratic regimes who can  spread the scope of compromising information beyond  subnational boundaries can cause uncertainties for  subnational undemocratic regimes. The book explores how the  political elites of these regimes repress these  communicators in response. Jos Bartman is a political  scientist specializing in subnational politics, comparative  politics and authoritarianism. He received his PhD from the  University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. He currently  works as a research coordinator at Free Press Unlimited,  where he investigates and coordinates the investigation  into cold murder cases of journalist-killings. By  investigating these cases, and by initiating in litigation  as a result, he hopes to contribute to the ending of the  pervasive impunity that coincides with attacks on the  press.},
