What drives politics in dictatorships? Milan W. Svolik argues authoritarian regimes must resolve two fundamental conflicts. Dictators face threats from the masses over which they rule – the problem of authoritarian control. Secondly from the elites with whom dictators rule – the problem of authoritarian power-sharing. Using the tools of game theory, Svolik explains why some dictators establish personal autocracy and stay in power for decades; why elsewhere leadership changes are regular and institutionalized, as in contemporary China; why some dictatorships are ruled by soldiers, as Uganda was under Idi Amin; why many authoritarian regimes, such as PRI-era Mexico, maintain regime-sanctioned political parties; and why a country's authoritarian past casts a long shadow over its prospects for democracy, as the unfolding events of the Arab Spring reveal. Svolik complements these and other historical case studies with the statistical analysis on institutions, leaders and ruling coalitions across dictatorships from 1946 to 2008.
把dictator面对的问题分成authoritarian power sharing 和authoritarian control。power sharing这部分做的比control那部分好;formal model部分比empirical做的好
评分Svolik值得期待必成大器
评分2015
评分Insightful and interesting, with thorough quantitative models.
评分威权主义的讨论既繁,对知识的再结构化也就呼之欲出,Svolik这本书正好起到这样的作用,故而占据节点,广受征引。虽组织完备,但逻辑似嫌简单,未得深透。倒是更欣赏他划分民主/威权毫不妥协的二分法,有一点春秋笔意方能不落庸俗,显露精神。
