Authoritarian Neoliberalism
Author: Ian BruffPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 100071246X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Authoritarian Neoliberalism explores how neoliberal forms of managing capitalism are challenging democratic governance at local, national and international levels. Identifying a spectrum of policies and practices that seek to reproduce neoliberalism and shield it from popular and democratic contestation, contributors provide original case studies that investigate the legal-administrative, social, coercive and corporate dimensions of authoritarian neoliberalism across the global North and South. They detail the crisis-ridden intertwinement of authoritarian statecraft and neoliberal reforms, and trace the transformation of key societal sites in capitalism (e.g. states, households, workplaces, urban spaces) through uneven yet cumulative processes of neoliberalization. Informed by innovative conceptual and methodological approaches, Authoritarian Neoliberalism uncovers how inequalities of power are produced and reproduced in capitalist societies, and highlights how alternatives to neoliberalism can be formulated and pursued. The book was originally published as a special issue of Globalizations.
Authoritarian Decision-making and Alternative Patterns of Power and Influence

ISBN:
Category : Industrial policy
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
This study examines the nature of decision making within the Mexican political system in the area of industrial policy. The combination of interests that generated this work is a complex one which evolved over the course of my graduate work. I attribute the key spark to an interest in multinationals and the response they have evoked from host governments in Latin America. My inquiry into views these governments have developed towards foreign investment led to a recognition of the increasingly important role technocrats exercise in formulating industrial policy. Of particular interest was the case of Mexico where technocrats have inherited the highest political office in the last three administrations and are now poised to continue that trend. Mexico also merited interest because of the on-going debate about the nature of its political system - authoritarian or democratizing? At the center of such a question lies the age-old concern over the locus of power and the relatively more recent interest in determining the distribution of influence. Theses. (sdw).
Competitive Authoritarianism

Book Description
Based 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.

Dictators at War and Peace
Author: Jessica L. P. WeeksPublisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 0801455235
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
Why do some autocratic leaders pursue aggressive or expansionist foreign policies, while others are much more cautious in their use of military force? The first book to focus systematically on the foreign policy of different types of authoritarian regimes, Dictators at War and Peace breaks new ground in our understanding of the international behavior of dictators. Jessica L. P. Weeks explains why certain kinds of regimes are less likely to resort to war than others, why some are more likely to win the wars they start, and why some authoritarian leaders face domestic punishment for foreign policy failures whereas others can weather all but the most serious military defeat. Using novel cross-national data, Weeks looks at various nondemocratic regimes, including those of Saddam Hussein and Joseph Stalin; the Argentine junta at the time of the Falklands War, the military government in Japan before and during World War II, and the North Vietnamese communist regime. She finds that the differences in the conflict behavior of distinct kinds of autocracies are as great as those between democracies and dictatorships. Indeed, some types of autocracies are no more belligerent or reckless than democracies, casting doubt on the common view that democracies are more selective about war than autocracies.
Selection of Decision-Making Models in Intergovernmental Organizations: A Poliheuristic Approach to Political Regime Type Influence
Author: Timothy Tamutana TamunangPublisher: Miraclaire Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
Until recently, Political Psychology of International Relations has attracted very few scholars’ attention in explaining states behaviors and attitudes as a juridical person. In reality, international relations scholarly works, especially related to Intergovernmental organizations, have shown that rational, structural, and functional accounts have failed to fully capture the underline nature of these institutions. A poliheuristic approach doesn’t only solve these theoretical shortcomings but also allows for the close examination of states attitudes and behaviors in making choices that would serve as tools for expected interests. This gives a chance to retrospect: how were these bodies created, what were the environmental factors that led to their formations and the nature of founders. Since organizations are adepts of metamorphosis, it is interesting to watch their overall changes. This book present not only the existing views within the subject but also provides additional information which the author has proven to be relevant.
