In this title, two renowned political scientists make the contrarian, research-based case that - regardless of any other factors political scientists or historians may find relevant - the calculations and actions of rulers are the driving force of all politics, and the primary goal of rulers is to maintain power as long as possible. In this clever and accessible book, Bueno de Mesquita and Smith introduce us to their perspective of the political world. They bare the logic of politics, starting from the simple premise that leaders pursue their own ends, and that populations either have, or more often don't have, the power to constrain them to a significant degree. The book is organized by a series interconnected questions, among them: Why do leaders who wreck their countries keep their jobs for so long? Why do autocracies have dismal economic policies? How are there so many suffering people in resource-rich lands? Why do 'natural disasters' disproportionately strike poor nations? Why do 'evil-doers' so often collect loads of foreign aid? Why are democracies so good at war? In answering these questions, the authors look at politics, the choices of public policies, and even decisions about war and peace as lying outside of conventional thinking about culture and history. They set aside ideas of civic virtue and psychopathology. Such notions simply are not central to understanding what leaders do and why they do it. Instead, Bueno de Mesquita and Smith see politicians as self-interested louts, just the sort of people you wouldn't want to have over for dinner, but without whom you might not have dinner at all. And from this perspective, they are able to answer some perplexing mysteries of politics, shed light on what we read in the newspapers every single day, and offer realistic ways of improving human governance.

读后感
年初在zaker上看到对本书的书评，看完书评以后就有看原著的强烈兴趣了。 作者在这本书里把对政治长达近20年的研究变成了普通老百姓都能看懂的通俗文字。 本书对于理解各国政府的行为有极大帮助，包括导致某搜索网站最终404的事件。本书对于统治的基本规则，不同执政者如何掌权...
评分《独裁者手册》：天下乌鸦不一般黑 刘瑜 《独裁者手册》(The Dictator's Handbook)可真是一部典型的“标题党”作品。根据这个书名，这本书将手把手教会我们如何成为一个呼风唤雨的独裁者。真有这样的秘笈？原以为征服世界需要千军万马，现在看来只需要42元。 可是，掏钱买书...

用户评价
非常好的政治学科普书。主要强调三点，一是实证性(相对于规范性)，二是方法论个人主义，三是政治联盟的组成和维持。读这本入门既避免了“天下乌鸦一般黑”的虚无主义病，也不会陷入过于moralistic地看政治。这本中文引进版恐怕少不了删减。
评分I think selectorate theory is an extention of realism school instead of a stand-alone theory. Overall an exciting theory with somewhat funky examples.
评分怎么想都觉得军队那里太难做因果识别了，不过，那又如何？也许大家都是猜到了结果猜不透开始
评分呵呵
评分一本本可以用十页纸讲完的书。Read the first few chapters and skim the rest. 这本书最大的问题就是业余，而且花了太多时间去业余。浅薄的另一面就是很多细节没有得到起码的有用的解释。比如说，当他所认为导致腐败的元素一直是固定的时候，那他就有必要解释一下在不同时间不同地点为什么checks on corruption产生了变化。
