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.

现在再翻翻书中中国的部分,Svolik教授估计要大跌眼镜了吧....
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。
评分Svolik值得期待必成大器
评分子类型有点划分得太细了
评分Great analysis
