    Este artículo analiza desde una perspectiva comparada el destino de los dictadores tras perder o abandonar el poder, es decir, busca explicar bajo qué condiciones es posible castigar a los dictadores salientes o, por el contrario, bajo qué condiciones pueden éstos exiliarse o permanecer impunes en sus países. Para hacerlo, partimos de un simple modelo de teoría de juegos mediante el cual se pone de relieve que hay dos principales factores detrás de tales destinos: La fuerza relativa de la oposición y el contexto internacional. Nuevos datos sobre el modo de salida del poder y el destino pospoder de los dictadores que gobernaron entre 1946 y 2000, nos ha permitido poner a prueba nuestras hipótesis.

    This article analyses from a comparative point of view the fate of dictators once they have lost or given power up, in other words, it seeks to explain under what conditions it is possible to punish outgoing rulers and under which ones dictators can exile or remain unpunished in their countries. To do so, we depart from a simple game-theoretic model through which we stress that there are two main factors that explain rulers¿ fate: The relative strength of the opposition and the international context. New data for the period 1945-2000 on dictators¿ mode of exiting power and post-power fate have allowed us to put our hypotheses under empirical scrutiny.
