Abstract
In this chapter, the focus will be on the relationship between economic performance, policy and democratic regime failure. Did the frequency, length and severity of economic crises influence a democracy’s chance of survival? How did policy-makers respond to the crises? Did successful economic policy improve a democratic regime’s survivability?
I wish to express my gratitude to Mark R. Thompson, whose comments on an earlier draft were more than helpful.
