Radtke, M. T. (2020). Why Kill Deposed Leaders? Regime Types and Post-tenure Fates. Foreign Policy Analysis, 16(3), 332-352. Web.
According to this article, previous research reveals that leaders are careful about their post-tenure fates and consideration of situations that can motivate the selection of policies. However, there are a few theories about why some successors allow leaders to walk away when others attain miserable endings. The article provides a regime-based argument for the variation forecasting that personal leaders are likely to be involved in post-tenure fates such as death, imprisonment, and exile compared to autocratic and Democratic colleagues. The main reason is that the legitimacy of personalist leaders is uniquely tied to their traits. Therefore, as long as the former deposits are near and living, there is a threat to the successors. After testing a sample of leaders, results from the article reveal that the legitimacy argument forecasts leader outcomes even when accounting for rival arguments such as history, regime militarization, means of exit, and retribution needs.
