摘要：正式当选的尺子如何削弱对行政权力的制约，限制公民和政治自由，并破坏选举过程的完整性？借鉴了来自拉丁美洲、东欧、非洲以及美国的16个倒退案例，我们的倒退理论集中在三个原因机制上：两极分化的有害影响；尺子对立法机构的控制；以及滥用权力的渐进性质，它分裂和迷惑了反对派。
Abstract:How do duly elected rulers weaken checks on executive power, curtail civil and political liberties, and undermine the integrity of the electoral process? Drawing on sixteen cases of backsliding from Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Africa as well as the United States, our theory of backsliding focuses on three causal mechanisms: the pernicious effects of polarization; rulers’ control of the legislature; and the incremental nature of abuses of power, which divide and disorient oppositions.
