The late Juan J. Linz was Sterling Professor of Political and Social Science at Yale University. His work on authoritarianism, the breakdown of democratic regimes, and transitions to democracy had a wide-ranging impact not only on scholarship, but also in the world of politics.
The need for theory on totalitarian and authoritarian regimes means
that the appearance of this book is good news for those interested
in similar issues.... a good start for students of democratic
transitions."—Dovile Budryte, Bridges
"There is no doubt that what Linz wrote a quarter of century ago
has withstood the test of time beautifully.... His new introduction
is interesting and useful from several points of view.... Linz
provides important and decisive clues for the analysis of
authoritarian, totalitarian, [and] sultanistic regimes and a lot of
food for thought."—Gianfranco Pasquino, West European Politics
"Provides renewed access to an important work in comparative
politics."—Choice
