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.

highly sophisticated analysis
評分看瞭Introduction,理論貢獻著作,需要迴看。主要迴答為什麼PRI能夠常年在選舉中獲勝的問題。
評分典範性的開篇和結尾,問題的提齣,競爭解釋的綜述以及案例的可推廣性辯護值得學習。用墨西哥PRI的例子說明一個霸權式單一政黨體係如何利用選舉製造瞭一個market of loyaty,將選民的利益編製在這一看似民主的選舉之中。 從博弈論的角度在動機層麵解讀瞭精英和窮人麵對這樣的一個選舉現實的選擇。ideological investments是個很有趣的概念。個案分析是比多個case的比較要詳實許多。比較政治的研究雖然大氣但分析方式真的不是我的菜啊。。。
評分老闆規定的暑期必讀書。感嘆下CP領域C研究的確和拉美研究不在一個檔次上,特彆是對宏觀的CP理論的貢獻上,當C研究還在較多關注些諸如“晉升錦標賽”等不具有普遍理論意義的話題的時候,對拉美的研究已經成瞭威權政治和競爭民主的新理論的重要來源。
