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?
Adam Przeworski (born 1940) is a Polish-American professor of Political Science. One of the main important theorists and analysers of democratic societies, theory of democracy and political economy, he is currently a full professor at the Wilf Family Department of Politics of New York University.
Born in 1940 in Warsaw, Poland, Przeworski graduated from Warsaw University in 1961. Soon afterwards, he moved to the United States, where he received his Ph.D. at Northwestern University in 1966. He taught at the University of Chicago, where he was awarded with the title of Martin A. Ryerson Distinguished Service Professor. He also held visiting appointments in India, Chile, Great Britain, France (among others, at the American University of Paris), Germany, Spain (Juan March Institute), and Switzerland. Since 1991, Przeworski has been a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and in 2001 shared the Woodrow Wilson Prize for the book Democracy and Development. To date, he has authored 13 books and numerous articles.
Przeworski was a member of the September Group of Analytical Marxists, but left the group in the early 1990s.
沿袭了Schumpeter关于民主政治的过程性定义(有别于诸如Putnam的实质性定义),将其界定为“a system in which parties lose elections",并以此展开全书。分析简洁、冷静,从政治经济模型入手进行推演,再以拉美和东欧的实例论证。变量虽然单一,对事实的解释显得游刃有余,但同时也承认改革结果的偶然性。第四章对政治改革和经济改革关系的阐述很有启发,但我猜作者当年大概没料到中国的成功。第二章适合开脑洞,按Perry的说法,大概需要Pekinology辅助。
评分准备资格考试的又一大收获
评分此书之所以在政治经济学的研究里享有非常高的声誉,就在于作者通过此书的研究发展了经由有竞争性选举所产生的政权交替是民主政治的要义的理论。进而,在此后的很长一段时间里,许多学者都依据这一点作为民主政治的操作性定义和最基本的解释变量。不过,相较于理论经济学,政治学的学生很容易发现,假若我们将民主理论类似于市场理论之于经济学,那么在政治学的讨论里,民主理论不仅目前仍旧充满了规范性,价值论的研究文献,公理化的从微观到宏观一以贯之的理论框架仍旧是非常之少的。倘若以这样薄弱的民主理论去推论民主之于经济运营的影响。可以说随之而来的经验研究,无论有多少,对于增进我们之于民主政治的理解,恐怕没有很大的助益。尤其是现在的学生们都过度热衷可操作化的定义和数据搜集与统计模型的学习的情况下,理论建设的忽视是让人不安的
评分excellent!

评分民主化是比较政治学研究中当仁不让的“头号主题”,在有关民主化转型的卷帙浩繁的文献之中,亚当·普沃斯基(Adam Przeworski)又是一个绕不开的名字。一般来说,人类历史上的激烈动荡往往要经历一定时间的沉淀,方有严肃的反思问世。而这本出版于1991年的《民主与市场》却并没...
