About this book
Reviews
“It is rare for any book to address multiple theoretical puzzles simultaneously. Yet, Professor Tung's book has done so with great finesse and rigor, and provides new theoretical insights on the impact of growth on authoritarian stability and dictators' divide and conquer strategy. It is not to be missed by students of political economy and comparative politics.” (Victor C. Shih, Associate Professor of Political Economy, UC San Diego, USA, and author of Factions and Finance in China: Elite Conflict and Inflation (2007))
