In this title, two renowned political scientists make the contrarian, research-based case that - regardless of any other factors political scientists or historians may find relevant - the calculations and actions of rulers are the driving force of all politics, and the primary goal of rulers is to maintain power as long as possible. In this clever and accessible book, Bueno de Mesquita and Smith introduce us to their perspective of the political world. They bare the logic of politics, starting from the simple premise that leaders pursue their own ends, and that populations either have, or more often don't have, the power to constrain them to a significant degree. The book is organized by a series interconnected questions, among them: Why do leaders who wreck their countries keep their jobs for so long? Why do autocracies have dismal economic policies? How are there so many suffering people in resource-rich lands? Why do 'natural disasters' disproportionately strike poor nations? Why do 'evil-doers' so often collect loads of foreign aid? Why are democracies so good at war? In answering these questions, the authors look at politics, the choices of public policies, and even decisions about war and peace as lying outside of conventional thinking about culture and history. They set aside ideas of civic virtue and psychopathology. Such notions simply are not central to understanding what leaders do and why they do it. Instead, Bueno de Mesquita and Smith see politicians as self-interested louts, just the sort of people you wouldn't want to have over for dinner, but without whom you might not have dinner at all. And from this perspective, they are able to answer some perplexing mysteries of politics, shed light on what we read in the newspapers every single day, and offer realistic ways of improving human governance.

评分I think selectorate theory is an extention of realism school instead of a stand-alone theory. Overall an exciting theory with somewhat funky examples.
政治学学术论著,无权谋厚黑阴谋论。show you why, not how ... 核心观点: 没有真正的独裁,任何领袖都需要盟友。 盟友的范围包括:名义选民、影响者、致胜联盟,而且三者比例决定政体。 掌权的精髓: 1.缩小致胜联盟 ; 2.扩大名义选民; 3.知道钱在哪; 4.给致胜联盟足够的...
评分陈虻说过,一个人应该逐渐建立起自己认知未知事物的坐标系。深感同意,如何理解和判断陌生领域的一些事情的是非价值其实就体现了一个人思想的深度、认知深度。而深度要远比广度来的重要(因为深度能够满足他人推动他人,而广度只是满足了自己) 而这本书就是一本帮助人建立如何...
