Most political regimes, whether authoritarian or democratic, are
born in abrupt, brutal, and momentous crises. In this volume, a
group of prominent scholars explores how these seminal events
affect elites and shape regimes. Combining theoretical and case
study chapters, the authors draw from a wide range of historical
and contemporary examples to challenge mainstream developmental
explanations of political change, which emphasize incremental
changes and evolutions stretching over generations. Instead, the
authors argue here, political leaders and elites possess
significant autonomy and latitude for maneuver, especially in times
of crisis. Elites' choices are frequently decisive in the making of
regimes and the forging of national political histories. Providing
a sustained comparative analysis of elites, their circulation, and
behavior across times and countries, this lucid volume will be
invaluable for scholars and students alike.
