We are able to use the concepts of W (the winning coalition) and S (the selectorate) from the Selectorate Theory to make useful distinctions among regime types such as democracies, monarchies, military juntas,and so on. However, the authors of the Selectorate Theory themselves only consider the institutions in each country that determine W and S, rather than talking about countries in terms of being democracies or dictatorships (or different types of dictatorships).True.False.

Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Selectorate theory differentiates between different types of dictatorships, as well as between dictatorships and democracies. The key factor that distinguishes democracies from dictatorships is the size of the winning coalition.
