"An interesting and rigorous analysis of why so many autocratic states born of social revolutions--from the USSR to China to Iran and so on--prove immovable in the face of problems that would end normal regimes." ---David Patrikarakos, The Spectator, "Two of the most prolific and respected scholars of democracy and dictatorship, Steven Levitsky and Lucan Way . . . bring together their immense regional and theoretical expertise in their new book, Revolution and Dictatorship . For those trying to understand where history is headed, their approach offers useful insights and lessons." ---Sheri Berman, Foreign Affairs, Winner of the Juan Linz Best Book Prize, Democracy & Autocracy section of the American Political Science Association

Synopsis
Why the world's most resilient dictatorships are products of violent revolution Revolution and Dictatorship explores why dictatorships born of social revolution -- such as those in China, Cuba, Iran, the Soviet Union, and Vietnam -- are extraordinarily durable, even in the face of economic crisis, large-scale policy failure, mass discontent, and intense external pressure. Few other modern autocracies have survived in the face of such extreme challenges. Drawing on comparative historical analysis, Steven Levitsky and Lucan Way argue that radical efforts to transform the social and geopolitical order trigger intense counterrevolutionary conflict, which initially threatens regime survival, but ultimately fosters the unity and state-building that supports authoritarianism. Although most revolutionary governments begin weak, they challenge powerful domestic and foreign actors, often bringing about civil or external wars. These counterrevolutionary wars pose a threat that can destroy new regimes, as in the cases of Afghanistan and Cambodia. Among regimes that survive, however, prolonged conflicts give rise to a cohesive ruling elite and a powerful and loyal coercive apparatus. This leads to the downfall of rival organizations and alternative centers of power, such as armies, churches, monarchies, and landowners, and helps to inoculate revolutionary regimes against elite defection, military coups, and mass protest--three principal sources of authoritarian breakdown. Looking at a range of revolutionary and nonrevolutionary regimes from across the globe, Revolution and Dictatorship shows why governments that emerge from violent conflict endure. 'A sweeping historical analysis.' -- Dexter Roberts, Washington Post 'A clear and comprehensive analysis.' -- Cady Lang and Angela Haupt, TIME, Why the world's most resilient dictatorships are products of violent revolution Revolution and Dictatorship explores why dictatorships born of social revolution--such as those in China, Cuba, Iran, the Soviet Union, and Vietnam--are extraordinarily durable, even in the face of economic crisis, large-scale policy failure, mass discontent, and intense external pressure.

- s***c (261)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaThe authors are slightly behind schedule. I recommend reaching for the 21st century as many revolutions in Africa that have been well researched in this novel are post dated accounts of political turmoil in Europe and Asia.

- n***m (110)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaGood price for the book. Shipping was slow. Messaged the seller a week after I ordered it to see when they were going to ship it. They responded immediately and said it would be shipped out soon. Got it about a week later. Book did arrive in the date range that they provided though  Minimal packaging. Book is Shrink wrapped and only wrapped in thin plastic. No bubble wrap. Book is in good shape though. 
- c***t (923)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaThe book I bought was reasonably priced and when it arrived it was in the 'Like New' condition specified in the listing. However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.Catland by Hughes, Kathryn, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US (#356798982438)
