Revolución Y Dictadura: Los Orígenes Violentos del Autoritarismo / Revolution and Dictatorship


Overview

El análisis más completo sobre cómo surgen los sistemas autoritarios y la fragilidad de las democracias actuales. Los mayores expertos en teoría política y democracia llevan décadas analizando por qué las dictaduras nacidas de revoluciones sociales --China, Cuba, Irán, la URSS o Vietnam-- logran mantenerse pese a crisis, fracasos y descontento masivo. Levitsky y Way explican cómo estos regímenes, inicialmente frágiles, consolidan élites cohesionadas y un férreo aparato de poder, desafiando actores internos y externos. Además, examinan revoluciones fallidas y las lecciones que su investigación aporta a un mundo marcado por nuevos radicalismos y la fragilidad democrática. ""Un análisis histórico imprescindible."" -- Dexter Roberts, The Washington Post ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The most comprehensive analysis of how authoritarian systems emerge and the fragility of today's democracies. The leading experts in political theory and democracy have spent decades analyzing why dictatorships born of social revolutions--China, Cuba, Iran, the USSR, or Vietnam--manage to endure despite crises, failures, and widespread discontent. Levitsky and Way explain how these regimes, initially fragile, consolidate cohesive elites and a strong apparatus of power, defying both internal and external actors. They also examine failed revolutions and the lessons their research offers for a world marked by new radicalisms and democratic fragility. ""An essential historical analysis."" -- Dexter Roberts, The Washington Post
