About this product
Product Information
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

Reviews
"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, Winner of the Juan Lin Best Book Prize, Democracy & Autocracy section of the American Political Science Association, "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, "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, Winner of the Juan Linz Best Book Prize, Democracy & Autocracy section of the American Political Science Association
