The quest for freedom from hunger and repression has triggered in recent years a dramatic, worldwide reform of political and economic systems. Never have so many people enjoyed, or at least experimented with democratic institutions. However, many strategies for economic development in Eastern Europe and Latin America have failed with the result that entire economic systems on both continents are being transformed. This major book analyzes recent transitions to democracy and market-oriented economic reforms in Eastern Europe and Latin America. Drawing in a quite distinctive way on models derived from political philosophy, economics, and game theory, Professor Przeworski also considers specific data on individual countries. Among the questions raised by the book are: What should we expect from these experiments in democracy and market economy? What new economic systems will emerge? Will these transitions result in new democracies or old dictatorships?
轉型的民主與理想 ——讀《民主與市場》 文/程明 政治民主化和經濟自由化是20世紀兩股世界潮流。 1915年孫中山先生在廣東省海寜視察時說:“世界潮流、浩浩蕩蕩、順之者昌、逆之者亡。”1840年鴉片戰爭後,在“衝擊—迴應”模式下,迫使中國逐步走嚮近代化。從洋務運...
評分民主化是比較政治學研究中當仁不讓的“頭號主題”,在有關民主化轉型的捲帙浩繁的文獻之中,亞當·普沃斯基(Adam Przeworski)又是一個繞不開的名字。一般來說,人類曆史上的激烈動蕩往往要經曆一定時間的沉澱,方有嚴肅的反思問世。而這本齣版於1991年的《民主與市場》卻並沒...
評分 評分經過幾個深夜和幾個晚上斷斷續續的閱讀,終於把普沃斯基的經典作品《民主與市場》,知道這本書還是在去年三月底麵試時在旁聽徐湘林老師的課上,當時老師極力嚮大傢推薦這本書,原因忘瞭,但當時我就記住瞭這本書和這位作者,以後每學期都曾藉過,但都沒有看,直到這學期第...
大一時候的看的第二本英文書
评分5星。我覺得第一章比較有意思,是個重要的問題。為什麼敗選的人會願意認輸而不是推翻民主製度?這是為什麼公平的選舉和經濟錶現好的民主國傢更可能保存下來民主製度。作者告訴我就看看第一章和第三章好瞭,第三章確實也蠻有趣的。作者最後用一句話來評價社會主義和資本主義的話就是:Capitalism is irrational; socialism is unfeasible. 一針見血。
