Abstract

Now that the model-building exercise is complete, I turn to an analysis of the model itself. The purpose of this chapter is to elicit from the formal model certain deductions concerning power transitions, that is, to reveal the moral of the story. In the next chapter, many of those deductions will be compared to empirical information. In particular, I am interested in whether transitions are peaceful or conflictual and in the types of power relationships that produce and result from transitions. Whether transitions are peaceful or conflictual is an interesting issue that arises from the BOP-PT debate. Proponents of the
