“A political ruler cannot govern alone and requires the cooperation of key supporters to maintain power.”
HIGH CONFIDENCE
TL;DR ·Political science research confirms that rulers must maintain support coalitions and elite cooperation to govern.
Political science research and historical analysis confirm that no ruler governs in total isolation. Even in authoritarian systems where one leader is officially in charge, many political elites must work together to form and execute governmental policies . Rulers utilize institutions and the granting of spoils to enhance elite cohesion and deter potential challengers within their support coalitions . Furthermore, authoritarian projects generally cannot succeed without the cooperation or acquiescence of other institutions such as legislatures and courts . In parliamentary democracies, the executive must often cooperate with multiple political parties to run the government . Historical examples also illustrate this dependency; for instance, the support of prominent Russian oligarchs was instrumental in propelling Vladimir Putin to power . Even in the United States, presidents rely on the bully pulpit to influence members of other government branches to support their policy agendas .
