Selectorate Theory

Selectorate Theory is a political science framework that explains the stability and behavior of political regimes by differentiating between the set of individuals who have the ability to select leaders (the selectorate) and those who actually choose the leader (the winning coalition), emphasizing how the size and composition of these groups influence leaders’ incentives and resource allocation strategies.
