Biography edit

He was born in 1940 in Warsaw, Poland when the country was occupied by Nazi Germany. His parents were physicians. His father, whom he never met, was conscripted in the Polish army in 1939 and killed in the 1940 Katyn massacre by Soviet troops.[2]

His uncle Andrzej Przeworski was a Polish footballer, referee and manager. His wife is a former senior manager at the OECD and the UN and the founding director of the Bard Center for Environmental Policy. Their daughter Molly Przeworski is a Population Geneticist. Both Adam Przeworski and Molly were the first father-daughter members elected to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. Przeworski was also elected to the British Academy. Przeworski is an ardent fan of the English football club Arsenal.[3]

Przeworski graduated from Warsaw University in 1961 with a MA in philosophy and sociology. In Warsaw, Przeworski met a Northwestern University political science professor, R. Barry Farrell. Farrell persuaded Przeworski to move to the United States to study political science. According to Przeworski, "I don’t remember if I had the smarts to ask him what political science was: I did not know what it was. But even if he had asked me if I wanted to work on a ship sailing around the world, I would have said ‘‘yes.’’ I was twenty years old, and I would have gone anywhere to do anything."[4]

Przeworski received his Ph.D. in political science from Northwestern University in 1966. Thereafter, he taught at Washington University in St. Louis (1969–1973), the University of Chicago (1973–1995), and New York University (NYU) (1995–present). He is currently Professor Emeritus at NYU.[5]

At the University of Chicago, he was awarded the title of Martin A. Ryerson Distinguished Service Professor.[6] At NYU, he was Carroll and Milton Petrie Professor of Politics and (by courtesy) of Economics Emeritus. He also held visiting appointments in India, Chile, Great Britain, France, Germany, Spain (Juan March Institute), and Switzerland.[5]

Przeworski joined the September Group of analytical Marxists in 1979 or 1980; he left the group in 1995.[7]

Awards and honors edit

Przeworski has been the recipient of many awards.[8]

Other awards include the 1985 Socialist Review Book Award, Honorary Professor of Chongqing University 2012, a Doctor Honoris Causa by the Universidad Nacional de Tucuman 2016, the Sakip Sabanci International Research Awards’ Jury Prize in 2018, and the 2020 Lawrence Longley Article Award.[11]

The Lijphart/Przeworski/Verba Dataset Award of the Comparative Politics sections of the American Political Science Association (APSA) is named for Przeworski and two other distinguished political scientists. The award recognizes the best publicly accessible data set which benefits the research community as a whole.[12]

Academic research edit

Przeworski has published widely in a variety of fields. One of his early works, The Logic of Comparative Social Inquiry (1970),[13] is "an important influence on methodological practices in comparative politics."[14]

His two books in the 1980s, Capitalism and Social Democracy (1985) and the coauthored Paper Stones (1986), turned to the question of why leftist parties "abandon socialism and adopt instead a reformist agenda within the parameters of capitalism."[15]

Thereafter he wrote several works on various aspects of democracy: Democracy and the Market (1991), Democracy and Development (2000), Democracy and the Limits of Self-Government (2010), Why Bother with Elections? (2018), and Crises of Democracy (2019). Among other things, in these works on democracy Przeworski has defended a minimalist conception of democracy in which "democracy is just a system in which rulers are selected by competitive elections."[16]

Przeworski also published two broad overviews of theories of the state and political economy: The State and the Economy Under Capitalism (1990) and States and Markets (2003).

Two enduring concerns in Przeworski's research have been: (1) the compatibility of democracy and capitalism, and (2) the possibility of a democratic path to socialism.[17] Przeworski acknowledged that an important influence on his thinking throughout his life has been the works of Karl Marx.[18]

The Logic of Comparative Social Inquiry edit

In The Logic of Comparative Social Inquiry (1970), Przeworski and Teune introduced the idea of "most similar systems" and "most different systems" designs.[19] This book also introduced a key distinction relevant in research on measurement: the distinction between "common indicators" and "system-specific indicators."[20]

Capitalism and Social Democracy and Paper Stones edit

In Capitalism and Social Democracy (1985), and in the companion volume with John Sprague Paper Stones: A History of Electoral Socialism (1985),[21] Przeworski argues that European socialist parties in the first half of the 20th century faced a sequence of electoral dilemmas. The first dilemma was whether or not to participate in bourgeois elections, when universal suffrage was progressively established in Europe. The question was whether or not participation would contribute to the struggle for socialism or strengthen the capitalist order.[22] According to Przeworski, most socialist parties have opted to get involved in elections, since it was a means to advance some of the interests of workers in the short run and, as references to Friedrich Engels and Eduard Bernstein illustrate in Przeworski's book, to move toward socialism.[23]

According to Przeworski, the decision to participate in bourgeois elections led to another dilemma. Given that manual workers were not the numerical majority in any European country, to win elections they had to choose whether or not to compromise their socialist principles and adopt a social democratic agenda to attract the support of allies, especially the middle class.[24] Such compromise had major consequences for socialist parties, including the withdrawal of support of workers,[25] the abandoning of extra-parliamentary tactics,[26] and progressively the defection from socialist policies when in power.[27]

Criticism to Przeworski's account of the dilemmas of social democratic parties have been at least twofold. First, it has been shown that numerical majority is not necessary for social democratic parties to control governments,[28] which implies that social democratic parties do not necessarily need to sacrifice workers’ votes to win elections.[29] Second, Gøsta Esping-Andersen argues that Przeworski is mistaken in attempting to differentiate reformist and revolutionary policies, since "we have no accepted criteria for deciding which actions will merely reflect the status quo and which will accelerate historical transformation."[30] Esping-Andersen suggests that policies that leftist parties adopt should be compared based on how they aid the process of class unity.[31]

Democracy and the Market edit

In Democracy and the Market (1991),[32] Przeworski analyzes events in Eastern Europe and Latin America, focusing on transitions to democracy and market-oriented economic reforms. Przeworski presents a minimalist view of democracy: "Democracy is a system in which parties lose elections.".[33] He analyzes transitions to democracy using rudimentary game theory, and he emphasizes the interdependence of political and economic transformations.

Democracy and Development edit

In Democracy and Development: Political Institutions and Well-Being in the World, 1950–1990 (2000),[34] Przeworski provides a statistical analysis of the causes and consequences of democracy across the globe.

On the causes of democracy, Przeworski assesses Seymour Martin Lipset’s thesis about the impact of economic development on political regimes and finds that Lipset’s argument regarding the association between a high level of economic development and the stability of democracy is supported. However, Przeworski "challenged the view that increases in the level of development are associated with increased prospects of transitions to democracy."[14]

On the consequences of democracy, Przeworski argued, against authors such as Samuel P. Huntington, that "democracies perform as well economically as do authoritarian regimes."[35]

Democracy and the Limits of Self-Government edit

This book is Przeworski's most extended discussion of the ideal of democracy and how much of this ideal can realistically be attained.

The book takes as its point of department that democracy is a set of institutions that must meet four "conditions":[36]

  1. Equality, the ability of every citizen to have the same influence on collective decisions
  2. Participation, the ability of every citizen to have an effective influence on collective decisions
  3. Representation, the implementation of collective decisions by elected representatives
  4. Liberty, the respect for individual freedom unimpeded by the state

This way of thinking about democracy is somewhat of a departure for Przeworski, who has been known as a defender of a minimalist conception of democracy.[37] One reviewer argues that in this book Przeworski has gone beyond the standard minimalist conception of democracy associated with Joseph Schumpeter.[38]

Thereafter, Przeworski explores the extent to which these conditions can be met and hence what limits are faced by the ideal of democracy. Przeworski argues that democracy has historically faced four challenges: "(1) the incapacity to generate equality in the socioeconomic realm, (2) the incapacity to make people feel that their political participation is effective, (3) the incapacity to ensure that governments do what they are supposed to do and not do what they are not mandated to do, and (4) the incapacity to balance order and noninterference."[39]

Throughout the book, Przeworski offers a sober assessment of the potential of democracy to revert these challenges. One of his central arguments is that, counter to the hope of many, "democracy does not generate more economic equality."[40] However, he cautions that, even though "democracy faces limits to the extent of possible economic equality, effective participation, perfect agency, and liberty", it is important to recognize these limits so as to better elucidate "directions for reforms that are feasible" and "not to criticize democracy for not achieving what no political arrangement can achieve."[41]

Why Bother with Elections? edit

In this 2018 book, Adam Przeworski addresses a classic question, why should democracy be valued?

Przeworski considers that democracy is a "method of processing conflicts."[42] He poses the question in the following terms: “Are there good reasons to think that if rulers are selected through contested elections their decisions will be rational, that governments will be representative, the economy will perform well, the distribution of income will be egalitarian, and people will live in liberty and peace?"[43] And he concludes that the strongest rationale for supporting democracy is that it generates civil peace.

His reasoning is worth quoting at length. Przeworski holds that “In the end, the miracle of democracy is that conflicting political forces obey the results of voting. People who have guns obey those without them. Incumbents risk their control of governmental offices by holding elections. Losers wait for their chance to win office. Conflicts are regulated, processed according to rules, and thus limited. This is not consensus, yet not mayhem either. Just regulated conflict; conflict without killing. Ballots are “paper stones.”[44]

Crises of Democracy edit

Przeworski's Crises of Democracy (2019)[45] analyzes the threats to democracy in the twenty-first century in established democracies and argues that the problems are not just of a political nature. He holds that the problems have deep economic, social, and cultural roots.[46]

influence on methodological practices in comparative politics 14 His two books in the 1980s Capitalism and Social Democracy 1985 and the coauthored Paper Stones 1986 turned to the question of why leftist parties abandon socialism and adopt instead a reformist agenda within the parameters of capitalism 15 Thereafter he wrote several works on various aspects of democracy Democracy and the Market 1991 Democracy and Development 2000 Democracy and the Limits of Self Government 2010 Why Bother with Elections 2018 and Crises of Democracy 2019 Among other things in these works on democracy Przeworski has defended a minimalist conception of democracy in which democracy is just a system in which rulers are selected by competitive elections 16 Przeworski also published two broad overviews of theories of the state and political economy The State and the Economy Under Capitalism 1990 and States and Markets 2003 Two enduring concerns in Przeworski s research have been 1 the compatibility of democracy and capitalism and 2 the possibility of a democratic path to socialism 17 Przeworski acknowledged that an important influence on his thinking throughout his life has been the works of Karl Marx 18 The Logic of Comparative Social Inquiry edit In The Logic of Comparative Social Inquiry 1970 Przeworski and Teune introduced the idea of most similar systems and most different systems designs 19 This book also introduced a key distinction relevant in research on measurement the distinction between common indicators and system specific indicators 20 Capitalism and Social Democracy and Paper Stones edit In Capitalism and Social Democracy 1985 and in the companion volume with John Sprague Paper Stones A History of Electoral Socialism 1985 21 Przeworski argues that European socialist parties in the first half of the 20th century faced a sequence of electoral dilemmas The first dilemma was whether or not to participate in bourgeois elections when universal suffrage was progressively established in Europe The question was whether or not participation would contribute to the struggle for socialism or strengthen the capitalist order 22 According to Przeworski most socialist parties have opted to get involved in elections since it was a means to advance some of the interests of workers in the short run and as references to Friedrich Engels and Eduard Bernstein illustrate in Przeworski s book to move toward socialism 23 According to Przeworski the decision to participate in bourgeois elections led to another dilemma Given that manual workers were not the numerical majority in any European country to win elections they had to choose whether or not to compromise their socialist principles and adopt a social democratic agenda to attract the support of allies especially the middle class 24 Such compromise had major consequences for socialist parties including the withdrawal of support of workers 25 the abandoning of extra parliamentary tactics 26 and progressively the defection from socialist policies when in power 27 Criticism to Przeworski s account of the dilemmas of social democratic parties have been at least twofold First it has been shown that numerical majority is not necessary for social democratic parties to control governments 28 which implies that social democratic parties do not necessarily need to sacrifice workers votes to win elections 29 Second Gosta Esping Andersen argues that Przeworski is mistaken in attempting to differentiate reformist and revolutionary policies since we have no accepted criteria for deciding which actions will merely reflect the status quo and which will accelerate historical transformation 30 Esping Andersen suggests that policies that leftist parties adopt should be compared based on how they aid the process of class unity 31 Democracy and the Market edit In Democracy and the Market 1991 32 Przeworski analyzes events in Eastern Europe and Latin America focusing on transitions to democracy and market oriented economic reforms Przeworski presents a minimalist view of democracy Democracy is a system in which parties lose elections 33 He analyzes transitions to democracy using rudimentary game theory and he emphasizes the interdependence of political and economic transformations Democracy and Development edit In Democracy and Development Political Institutions and Well Being in the World 1950 1990 2000 34 Przeworski provides a statistical analysis of the causes and consequences of democracy across the globe On the causes of democracy Przeworski assesses Seymour Martin Lipset s thesis about the impact of economic development on political regimes and finds that Lipset s argument regarding the association between a high level of economic development and the stability of democracy is supported However Przeworski challenged the view that increases in the level of development are associated with increased prospects of transitions to democracy 14 On the consequences of democracy Przeworski argued against authors such as Samuel P Huntington that democracies perform as well economically as do authoritarian regimes 35 Democracy and the Limits of Self Government edit This book is Przeworski s most extended discussion of the ideal of democracy and how much of this ideal can realistically be attained The book takes as its point of department that democracy is a set of institutions that must meet four conditions 36 Equality the ability of every citizen to have the same influence on collective decisions Participation the ability of every citizen to have an effective influence on collective decisions Representation the implementation of collective decisions by elected representatives Liberty the respect for individual freedom unimpeded by the stateThis way of thinking about democracy is somewhat of a departure for Przeworski who has been known as a defender of a minimalist conception of democracy 37 One reviewer argues that in this book Przeworski has gone beyond the standard minimalist conception of democracy associated with Joseph Schumpeter 38 Thereafter Przeworski explores the extent to which these conditions can be met and hence what limits are faced by the ideal of democracy Przeworski argues that democracy has historically faced four challenges 1 the incapacity to generate equality in the socioeconomic realm 2 the incapacity to make people feel that their political participation is effective 3 the incapacity to ensure that governments do what they are supposed to do and not do what they are not mandated to do and 4 the incapacity to balance order and noninterference 39 Throughout the book Przeworski offers a sober assessment of the potential of democracy to revert these challenges One of his central arguments is that counter to the hope of many democracy does not generate more economic equality 40 However he cautions that even though democracy faces limits to the extent of possible economic equality effective participation perfect agency and liberty it is important to recognize these limits so as to better elucidate directions for reforms that are feasible and not to criticize democracy for not achieving what no political arrangement can achieve 41 Why Bother with Elections edit In this 2018 book Adam Przeworski addresses a classic question why should democracy be valued Przeworski considers that democracy is a method of processing conflicts 42 He poses the question in the following terms Are there good reasons to think that if rulers are selected through contested elections their decisions will be rational that governments will be representative the economy will perform well the distribution of income will be egalitarian and people will live in liberty and peace 43 And he concludes that the strongest rationale for supporting democracy is that it generates civil peace His reasoning is worth quoting at length Przeworski holds that In the end the miracle of democracy is that conflicting political forces obey the results of voting People who have guns obey those without them Incumbents risk their control of governmental offices by holding elections Losers wait for their chance to win office Conflicts are regulated processed according to rules and thus limited This is not consensus yet not mayhem either Just regulated conflict conflict without killing Ballots are paper stones 44 Crises of Democracy edit Przeworski s Crises of Democracy 2019 45 analyzes the threats to democracy in the twenty first century in established democracies and argues that the problems are not just of a political nature He holds that the problems have deep economic social and cultural roots 46 Major works editPrzeworski Adam and Henry Teune 1970 The Logic of Comparative
