Let's Say We Want to Apply the Insights from the Selectorate

question 47

True/False

Let's say we want to apply the insights from the selectorate theory to analyze some question we have about democracies and dictatorships. In the language of the selectorate theory, the key factor that distinguishes democracies from dictatorships is the size of the winning coalition. If we further want to distinguish among dictatorships, we would examine the countries with small winning coalitions and look at variation over the size of the selectorate (so we would be comparing W/S).
