This dissertation investigates the relationship between foreign support and the survival of authoritarian regimes. Conventional wisdom suggests that great power patrons prop up client dictatorships. However, this is generally assumed rather than systematically analyzed. My dissertation provides the first comprehensive assessment of the relationship between foreign sponsorship and authoritarian regime survival with the use of an original dataset of all autocratic client regimes in the postwar period. These results demonstrate that patronage from Western powers - the United States, France, and the United Kingdom - is not associated with client regime survival. Instead, only Soviet sponsorship reduces the risk of regime collapse. I explain this variation by considering the effects of differing strategies of foreign sponsorship on client regime coup vulnerability. Not a single Soviet client regime ever lost power to a military coup. This was the result of Soviet assistance in the implementation of highly penetrative coup prevention strategies that rendered militaries incapable of ousting incumbent regimes. In contrast, a fundamental ambivalence toward their autocratic allies and a focus on building Western-style militaries rendered U.S. and European clients highly vulnerable to coups. Western clients did not receive patron assistance in restructuring their security forces to prevent a coup and were abandoned in the event of a successful coup. I test these arguments using recently declassified archival sources, secondary sources in English and Russian, and a series of statistical analyses using both original and newly available data.
