Instructions: Look for the articles above and answer the questions below.
Mass mobilization (and de-mobilization) can be central to regime stability. Democracies and authoritarian regimes have different ways of achieving their aims on this front. Vote buying, the topic of Magaloni's chapter, nicely problematizes this for regimes in transition. The rest of the readings highlight the challenges of mass politics in democratic regimes and why some become stuck in low-quality governance traps. Based on this description, write a reaction paper by connecting all the 5 articles, again how does each of the articles critique each other. Write your thought about it too.
