Product Description
It is a commonplace claim of Western political discourse that capitalist development and democracy go hand in hand. Cross-national statistical research on political democracy supports this claim. By contrast, comparative historical studies carried out within a political economy approach argue that economic development was and is compatible with multiple political forms.
The authors offer a fresh and persuasive resolution to the controversy arising out of these contrasting traditions. Focusing on advanced industrial countries, Latin America, and the Caribbean, they find that the rise and persistence of democracy cannot be explained either by an overall structural correspondence between capitalism and democracy or by the role of the bourgeoisie as the agent of democratic reform. Rather, capitalist development is associated with democracy because it transforms the class structure, enlarging the working and middle classes, facilitating their self-organization, and thus making it more difficult for elites to exclude them. Simultaneously, development weakens the landed upper class, democracy's most consistent opponent.
The relationship of capitalist development to democracy, however, is not mechanical. As the authors show, it depends on a complex interplay of three clusters of power: the balance of power among social classes, power relations between the state and society, and transnational structures of economic and political power. Looking to the future, the book concludes with some reflections on current prospects for the development of stable democracy in Latin America and Eastern Europe.

the authors try to reconcile the methodological tension between comparative historical studies and quantitative cross-national studies by building up a "new" framework to analyze democratization and using historical studies method to test large-number cases.

评分这本书是个综述，写得非常繁杂，在兼顾所有比较对象的同时要涵盖国际经济秩序、国家与公民社会的关系，以及公民社会本身的发展情况。但起码写得很详细。两个观点值得关注：1、真正推进民主化进程的是工人阶级而非中产阶级，后者在实现议会民主之后一般都是反对继续扩大参与面的。这个论点由三位作者的社会民主取向所决定；2、实现稳定的民主转型的关键在于保护精英阶层的利益。如果民主化的实现是以绝对剥夺精英阶层既得利益为前提的话，往往最终导致另一种暴政。要注意作用力与反作用力的问题。
