- Abstract
The article focuses on the book "The Political Economy of Democratic Transitions," by Stephan Haggard and Robert R. Kaufman. The book constructs a political economy of the transition from authoritarianism to consolidated democratic rule. The book explores the way economic conditions affect the capacity of the authoritarian ruling elite to determine the timing and nature of their withdrawal, examining cases in which deteriorating economic performance hastened the withdrawal of military regimes in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Peru, the Philippines and Uruguay.
