Linkage, leverage, and democratization in Eastern Europe ; Linkage, leverage, and democratization in the Americas -- The dynamics of competitive authoritarianism in low-linkage regions: the former Soviet Union, Africa, and Asia. The evolution of post-Soviet competitive authoritarianism ; Africa: transitions without democratization ; Diverging outcomes in Asia ; Conclusion. 330 $aBased on a detailed study of 35 cases in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and post-communist Eurasia, this book explores the fate of competitive authoritarian regimes between 1990 and 2008. It finds that where social, economic, and technocratic ties to the West were extensive, as in Eastern Europe and the Americas, the external cost of abuse led incumbents to cede power rather than crack down, which led to democratization. Where ties to the West were limited, external democratizing pressure was weaker and countries rarely democratized. In these cases, regime outcomes hinged on the character of state and ruling party organizations. Where incumbents possessed developed and cohesive coercive party structures, they could thwart opposition challenges, and competitive authoritarian regimes survived; where incumbents lacked such organizational tools, regimes were unstable but rarely democratized. 410 0$aProblems of international politics. 606 $aAuthoritarianism$vCase studies 606 $aDemocratization$vCase studies 606 $aPolitical development$vCase studies 606 $aPolitical stability$vCase studies 615 0$aAuthoritarianism 615 0$aDemocratization 615 0$aPolitical development 615 0$aPolitical stability 676 $a321.9 700 $aLevitsky$b Steven$0765493 702 $aWay$b Lucan$f1968- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460049003321 996 $aCompetitive authoritarianism$92480607 997 $aUNINA
