Something to think about when you say "authoritarianism" is whether you will resent or be happy to do some in-depth study on particular authoritarian countries. For example, any scholar studying the Middle East, Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, etc. should know a lot about authoritarianism. But if you don't really want to be forced to specialize in one of those countries you would need to make sure there are scholars there who would be okay advising on wide-ranging comparative work. Some of the area folks will not be up for that.
