Drawing on the Insights from the Exit, Voice, and Loyalty

question 3

Multiple Choice

Drawing on the insights from the Exit, Voice, and Loyalty game examined in Chapter 3, what can we infer when we see states ignoring the demands of their citizens? For example, if we know that the average North Korean citizen stays in North Korea and is badly treated by the government, and we also see the North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il ignoring his citizens, then we can infer

• A) That the citizens have no exit threat and that the state (Kim Jong-Il) depends on the citizens.
• B) That the citizens do have a credible exit threat and that the state depends on the citizens.
• C) That the citizens do have a credible exit threat and that the state is autonomous.
• D) We can't assume anything about whether the citizens have a credible exit threat but we can assume that the state is autonomous.
• E) We can't assume anything about whether the state is autonomous or dependent, but we can assume that the citizens do not have a credible exit threat.
