Description
In The Political Economy of Dictatorship, Ronald Wintrobe applies rational choice theory to understand why autocratic regimes behave the way they do. While many view the actions of dictators as mysterious or irrational, this book provides a framework to model their strategies for accumulating power and managing constraints. This work explores the deep connection between politics and economics within dictatorial systems. It addresses fundamental questions regarding the repressiveness of regimes and why these leaders often maintain more popularity than is typically accepted. This text is an essential resource for those studying the mechanisms behind political stability and economic interaction in non-democratic states.
