Book Synopsis The Political Economy of Dictatorship by : Ronald Wintrobe
Download or read book The Political Economy of Dictatorship written by Ronald Wintrobe and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-09-25 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although much of the world still lives today, as always, under dictatorship, the behaviour of these regimes and of their leaders often appears irrational and mysterious. In The Political Economy of Dictatorship, Ronald Wintrobe uses rational choice theory to model dictatorships: their strategies for accumulating power, the constraints on their behavior, and why they are often more popular than is commonly accepted. The book explores both the politics and the economics of dictatorships, and the interaction between them. The questions addressed include: What determines the repressiveness of a regime? Can political authoritarianism be 'good' for the economy? After the fall, who should be held responsible for crimes against human rights? The book contains many applications, including chapters on Nazi Germany, Soviet Communism, South Africa under apartheid, the ancient Roman Empire and Pinochet's Chile. It also provides a guide to the policies which should be followed by the democracies towards dictatorships.
Book Synopsis Economic Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy by : Daron Acemoglu
Download or read book Economic Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy written by Daron Acemoglu and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops a framework for analyzing the creation and consolidation of democracy. Different social groups prefer different political institutions because of the way they allocate political power and resources. Thus democracy is preferred by the majority of citizens, but opposed by elites. Dictatorship nevertheless is not stable when citizens can threaten social disorder and revolution. In response, when the costs of repression are sufficiently high and promises of concessions are not credible, elites may be forced to create democracy. By democratizing, elites credibly transfer political power to the citizens, ensuring social stability. Democracy consolidates when elites do not have strong incentive to overthrow it. These processes depend on (1) the strength of civil society, (2) the structure of political institutions, (3) the nature of political and economic crises, (4) the level of economic inequality, (5) the structure of the economy, and (6) the form and extent of globalization.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1990s, the African political landscape was liberalised and multiparty elections were held in various regions of the continent. However, from the mid-1990s onwards, power began to become concentrated in the hands of a few ruling elites. Elections became mere theatrical displays and were held neither regularly, fairly or freely.
