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.

評分DPRK!!!!
評分內容鞭闢入裏,發人深省,雖然看的不是很懂,但博弈論數學證明很厲害
評分課程需要,隻讀瞭前兩章,基本上是全書的一個梗概和介紹,不管是作者的結論還是方法,比如對威權政體的再分類對比GEDDES都更加的精緻,綜閤性更高,也算是研究威權和獨裁的絕佳專著瞭,有機會接著讀完。
評分拋開形式模型不說,至少是超越瞭Geddes的,最科學完整的威權分類。
