Abstract
Regime theorists have developed typologies that characterize a range of potential regimes. There has been little investigation of regime change, the transformational process by which one regime type is replaced with a different regime. This research hypothesizes that political corruption scandals create propitious conditions for regime change. Using three U.S. urban case studies, we show that scandals destabilized dominant regimes and led to their replacement by new regimes characterized by both alternative electoral coalitions and alternative patterns of political and economic distribution.
