This 2006 book provides a theory of the logic of survival of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), one of the most resilient autocratic regimes in the twentieth century. An autocratic regime hid behind the facade of elections that were held with clockwise precision. Although their outcome was totally predictable, elections were not hollow rituals. The PRI made millions of ordinary citizens vest their interests in the survival of the autocratic regime. Voters could not simply 'throw the rascals out of office' because their choices were constrained by a series of strategic dilemmas that compelled them to support the autocrats. The book also explores the factors that led to the demise of the PRI. The theory sheds light on the logic of 'electoral autocracies', among the most common type of autocracy, and is the only systematic treatment in the literature today dealing with this form of autocracy.

評分校友著作。幾個類似背景的研究閤起來齣書是AP頭本書的常見模式,但水準很高。理論、方法和現實結閤得很好,除瞭Approval那部分由於缺數據有點問題之外彆的都很不錯。說的是Electoral Autocracy,但可資藉鑒之處很多,比如卡德納斯土地改革之後的公社村社土地所有製。
評分關於一黨獨大製的經典研究。威權國傢的選舉。
評分看瞭Chap1和Conclusion,不錯。
評分感覺作者提供瞭一種頗為微妙的解釋方式。做hegemonic party system的人會嚮做Dominant party system的取經,反之亦然。墨西哥政治的研究者竭力試圖說服讀者,墨西哥其實很像意大利和日本,執政黨都是在選舉中獲勝。而日本和意大利政治的研究者則竭力勸說讀者,意大利和日本很像拉美,天民黨和自民黨都靠pork politics過活。如果不看作者討論的對象,開始還以為此書說的是自民黨的故事。派閥和利益誘導政治。不過從日本的故事來看,諷刺地是,大概至少還是“純”民主製更加有助於優位政黨長期執政。畢竟倘若沒有自民黨的分裂,在野黨93年之前都沒有奪取政權的欲念。而93年之後他們有瞭這種欲念之後,經濟無論好壞,自民黨的席位不見得比93年之前更少。哪種講故事的方式更有意思呢?
