　　This book develops a framework for ***yzing the creation and

c***olidation of democracy. Different social groups prefer

different political instituti*** because of the way they allocate

political power and resources. Thus democracy is preferred by the

majority of citizens, but opposed by elites. Dictatorship

nevertheless is not stable when citizens can threaten social

disorder and revolution. In resp***e, when the costs of repression

are sufficiently high and promises of concessi*** are not credible,

elites may be forced to create democracy. By democratizing, elites

credibly transfer political power to the citizens, ensuring social

stability. Democracy c***olidates when elites do not have strong

incentive to overthrow it. These processes depend on (1) the

strength of civil society, (2) the structure of political

instituti***, (3) the nature of political and economic crises, (4)

the level of economic inequality, (5) the structure of the economy,

and (6) the form and extent of globalization.
