ABSTRACTPast research on the relationship between democracy and poverty in Africa has produced surprisingly mixed findings. We argue that one source of variation is in the measures of democracy and poverty used by prior studies, which capture different concepts and contain different amounts of error. Using measures that map closely onto theory and which are directly comparable across countries, we show that electoral democracy is robustly correlated with small-but-significant reductions in lived poverty over time. We provide additional quantitative and case study evidence that accountability encourages governments to take swift action on poverty. Finally, we show that our results are sensitive to measurement choices, helping to explain null results in prior literature. Altogether our results suggest that empowering the poor in Africa will ultimately lead to meaningful reductions in poverty.KEYWORDS: Africapovertydemocracyaccountabilityanti-poverty programmesAfrobarometer Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Harding and Stasavage, “What Democracy Does.”2 Carlson, “The Relevance of Relative Distribution.”3 Keefer, “Clientelism, Credibility and the Policy Choices of Young Democracies.”4 Arriola, “Capital and Opposition in Africa.”5 We intentionally omit a large number of studies that use at their dependent variable either public goods provision or objective proxies of poverty such as night lights.

Studies of noncooperative transitions find that domestic balances of power shaped postcommunist regime trajectories in favor of the powerful. Then, what determined the balance of power during a transition? Drawing on relational-network analysis in IR, I argue that the configuration of international ties determined the relative strength of democrats and Soviet-era elites. States with diversified ties between the US and the Soviet Union - that occupy a brokerage position- were more likely to democratize. Their ties with the US funneled material and non-material assistance into democrats in postcommunist states. However, states deeply integrated into the Soviet order resisted democratization to a greater extent. Their extensive ties to the Soviet order resulted in stronger Sovietization and Soviet legacies impeding democratization. The interplay of states' ties with the US and the Soviet Union, as a function of brokerage and integration, shaped the domestic balance of power, conditioning postcommunist political changes. Empirical analysis using medium-N analysis and case studies on the former Soviet Union republics lends support to the argument. The finding contributes to the literature on international determinants of regime changes by highlighting how underlying global power structures frame the domestic balance of power.

The past three decades have witnessed a rapid global uptake of digital media. Does an increase in internet access lead to more anti-government protests globally, in both democracies and non-democracies? Has the role of the internet changed over time from benefiting the opposition to benefiting the regime? We use time-series cross-national data and negative binomial regressions to model protest data in 151 countries from 1990 to 2020. By leveraging change in the development of digital information globally, the results show that increases in internet penetration and mobile cellular subscription rates increase the number of anti-government protests in non-democracies in the period from 1990 to 2010, but not among a subsample of democracies. After 2010, increases in internet penetration rates did not affect the number of protests in either democracies or non-democracies. The use of cellular internet continues to have a small positive effect on protest frequency after 2010. We also test the government's internet censorship efforts as a mechanism for decreasing information access and diminishing mobilization. Results suggest authoritarian regimes modified their strategies over time, more effectively using information and communications technologies (ICTs) to quell anti-government protests using digital repression and information control consistent with the theory of informational autocracy.

ABSTRACTThis study examines why regime survival rates vary across young democracies. The literature offers competing claims regarding the effect of the mode of transition on the duration of post-transitional democracy. This study reconciles these claims by proposing three modes of democratic transitions – military dominance (MD), popular sanction (PS), and consensual power transfer (CPT) – arguing that CPT leads the subsequent democracies to last longer than MD and PS. MD fails to incorporate the military into democratic systems, making it more likely for the ensuing democracies to suffer a coup, whereas PS enables regime insiders to change democratic rules without hindrance or outsiders to gain power through an organized armed conflict. CPT shapes a strong electoral performance by authoritarian successor parties, which provide checks and balances in post-authoritarian politics, thus decreasing the likelihood of collapse. This study verifies these hypotheses using data on nascent democracies between 1945 and 2022.KEYWORDS: authoritarian successor partiesdemocratic survivaldemocratic transitionsmilitarypower transfer AcknowledgementsI am grateful all the comments I have received on previous versions of this article.

摘要本研究探讨了为什么年轻民主国家的政权存活率各不相同。关于过渡模式对过渡后民主持续时间的影响,文献提供了相互竞争的主张。本研究通过提出三种民主过渡模式——军事主导(MD)、民众制裁(PS)和共识权力转移(CPT)来调和这些说法,认为CPT导致随后的民主国家比MD和PS持续更长时间。MD未能将军队纳入民主制度,使得随后的民主国家更有可能遭受政变。而PS则使政权内部人士不受阻碍地改变民主规则,或使外部人士通过有组织的武装冲突获得权力。CPT塑造了威权主义继任者政党在选举中的强势表现,为后威权主义政治提供了制衡,从而降低了崩溃的可能性。本研究使用1945年至2022年间新兴民主国家的数据验证了这些假设。关键词:威权继承者政党民主生存民主过渡军事权力转移感谢我收到的所有关于本文以前版本的评论。特别感谢Sebastian Ziaja博士(GESIS -莱布尼茨社会科学研究所)、Alexander Baturo博士(都柏林城市大学法律与政府学院)、Carl Henrik Knutsen教授(奥斯陆大学政治科学系)以及第九届欧洲政治科学协会(EPSA)年度大会的所有与会者。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。数据可用性声明当前研究中使用和/或分析的数据集可根据作者的合理要求提供。注1:奥唐奈和施米特:《威权统治的转型》;6.2阿尔伯图斯和梅纳尔多:《威权主义与精英的起源》;哈格德和考夫曼:《独裁者和民主党人》;Karl and Schmitter:《转型模式》;麦克福尔,《第四次浪潮》;Mainwaring,向民主过渡;蒙克和莱夫:《过渡模式》;斯捷潘,《走向民主化的道路》;史特拉迪奥托和郭:“民主化的过渡模式”。3阿尔伯塔斯和梅纳尔多,威权主义和精英起源;哈格德和考夫曼:《独裁者和民主党人》;Karl and Schmitter:《转型模式》;麦克福尔,《第四次浪潮》;Mainwaring,向民主过渡;蒙克和莱夫:《过渡模式》;斯捷潘,《走向民主化的道路》;史特拉迪奥托和郭:“民主化的过渡模式”。4马里诺夫和戈曼斯,《政变与民主》;泰恩和鲍威尔,"政变的时候。5 Derpanopoulos等人,“政变对民主有益吗?”6前田:《民主崩溃的两种模式》;Tomini和Wagemann, <当代民主崩溃的多样性>7 Grzymala-Busse,《救赎共产主义的过去》;Grzymala-Busse,《威权决定因素》;石山和奎恩,“非洲凤凰”;兰斯顿:民主化与威权政党的生存洛克斯顿和曼沃宁:独裁统治后的生活;《共产党的继承者》。8 .米勒,《不要称之为回归》;《通往持久民主之路》。“9 Mainwaring,向民主过渡;斯捷潘,《走向民主化的道路》10步,走向民主化之路。11 Mainwaring,向民主过渡,26.12 Markovitz,“宪法,联邦党人文集”,45.13林茨和斯捷潘,民主过渡的问题,4.14卡尔和施米特,“过渡模式”,275.15蒙克和莱夫,“过渡模式”。16 Stradiotto and Guo,“民主化的过渡模式”,13.17 Stradiotto and Guo,“民主化的过渡模式”。18麦克福尔,《第四波》。19 Stradiotto和Guo,“民主化的过渡模式”,14.20 Munck和Leff,“过渡模式”,358.21 Albertus和Menaldo,威权主义和精英起源,124.22 Haggard和Kaufman,独裁者和民主主义者,181-8.23见上文注释2麦克福尔,《第四次浪潮》,223页;蒙克和莱夫,《过渡模式》,359;Stradiotto and Guo,“民主化的过渡模式”,14.25 Levitsky and Way,竞争威权主义,7.26 Maeda,“民主崩溃的两种模式”。27 Kailitz,“重新审视政治制度分类”,48.28 thne和Powell,“政变的文氏”,1966.29 Marinov和Goemans,“政变与民主”,803.30 Chambers,“泰国的军事“阴影”。31 Pongsudhirak,“政变后的泰国”,146.32 McCargo,“2014年的泰国”,350.33 Baker,“2014年的泰国政变”,390.34 Bazenguissa-Ganga,“政治暴力的蔓延”,39-41.35 Ward和Gleditsch,“为和平而民主化”,53.36 Wheeler,“1975年的巴基斯坦”,113.37 Branch和Cheeseman,“民主化,顺序和国家失败”,18.38 Puig,“FSLN的适应”,89-92.39 popp - eleches,“四季派对”。40费雷拉,几内亚比绍,47-9。

In divided-executive patronal systems, legislatures have been sites of resistance to the centralization of power in a single patronal pyramid. Kyrgyzstan is an anomaly among divided-executive patronal systems when between 2010 to 2020, the Kyrgyz parliament was neither a site of opposition nor did it demonstrate legislative agency vis-à-vis the executive. Instead, following another uprising in 2020, a unified single patronal pyramid was re-established. Adopting an approach rooted in the semiotics of meaning making and drawing on a dataset of interviews with parliamentary deputies and a range of documentary sources, this article complements existing institutional approaches to explaining weak legislative agency by revealing a series of dialogical relationships between deputy meaning making and broader institutional and cultural constraints which shaped the Kyrgyz’s parliament’s overall quality and strength. These relationships pertain to legislative initiative, the protection of private interests and representation, with the interplay between the ascribed meaning and its constitution within broader institutional and cultural context contributing to the diminishment of legislative agency vis-à-vis the presidency. Kyrgyzstan illustrates the value of meaning making as an approach to understanding legislative-executive relations in non-democratic contexts, and its impact in conjunction with cultural and institutional constraints in shaping legislative agency.
