| Research Abstract |
This research searches for the relationship between bureaucracies and democracies, using the game theoretical modeling and quantitative analysis which bases on the dataset of 127 countries, 1984-2010. We reveal that both democracies and authoritarian states often have costly but high-quality bureaucracies. However, the motivations of the governing body are totally different. At the same time, the quality difference of the bureaucracies also influences the strategies of citizens who sometimes choose whether accepting the present polity or tries to change the polity from authoritarian to democracies or vice versa.
