Surprisingly though, Chile's repressive military dictatorship and Mexico's hegemonic civilian regime endured amid the economic chaos that rocked the region. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDual Transitions from Authoritarian Rule\u003c\/i\u003e explains why the regimes in these two nations survived the financial upheaval of the early 1980s and how each progressed toward a more open, democratic, market-driven system in later years. Using an in-depth comparative analysis of Chile and Mexico, Francisco Gonz疝ez explains that the two governments--though quite different ideologically--possessed a common type of institutionalized authoritarian rule that not only served to maintain the political status quo but, paradoxically, also aided proponents of political and economic liberalization. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing a discussion of parallel phenomena in Brazil, Hungary, Taiwan, and South Korea, \u003ci\u003eDual Transitions from Authoritarian Rule\u003c\/i\u003e presents a cogent challenge to the received wisdom that sociopolitical and economic change within authoritarian nations must be approached separately. This book will interest scholars of Latin American politics, democratization studies, market reform, and comparative politics and international relations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francisco E.
