In my newly published paper on Harry Eckstein's "congruence theory" of democratic stability, I make a plea for political scientists to attempt either to confirm or disconfirm my simplified "majoritarian consonance" version.
My sense is that a comparative politics guru could likely settle this "authority patterns" doctrine once and for all quite quickly. So I hope some of those folks will check it out!
(BTW, if my article seems dry or abstruse, it may help to contemplate while reading it that after escaping Nazi Germany as a child and in spite of publishing a ton of important work and teaching at Princeton as an adult, Eckstein somehow also managed to get married four times.)
