Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Capable and accountable public authority has proven elusive throughout the developing world, but not entirely unattainable. Southeast Asia exhibits as much if not more cross-case variation than any other region in terms of both state capacity and levels of democratic accountability. Why have some of this region’s states proven so much more capable, particularly at mobilizing tax revenue, than others? And why have some of Southeast Asia’s authoritarian regimes proven so much more durable than others? This comparative-historical analysis of seven countries locates the answer to both puzzles in the patterns of contentious politics (i.e. labor strikes, ethnic riots, and rural rebellions) that emerged between the end of Japan’s occupation of Southeast Asia in 1945, and the inauguration of bureaucratic-authoritarian regimes throughout the region between the mid-1950s and the early 1970s. Subtly divergent patterns of contentious politics produced striking divergence in contemporary political institutions. In short, contemporary political institutions (parties, states, and regimes) have all been shaped by patterns of elite collective action, which arose in response to specific types of threats from below.
