[SEA History] Adoption of MG (TS)

- The accommodation of minority rights under Parliamentary Democracy resulted in the outbreak of communal riots, inclining governments towards adopting authoritarian structures to maintain political stability. [Necessity] 

- The inefficient policy making of the incumbent government saw the gradual loss of their their legitimacy, increasing the willingness of the military to impose maximum governance to restore government efficiency. [Necessity]

- The incompatibility of the democratic system with the local context opened up space for maximum governance to be adopted as an alternative political structure. [Necessity] 

- The presence of a politically influential non-government player who was in favour of authoritarian rule opened up the opportunity for maximum governance to take root. [Chance]

- The political ambition of the incumbent leaders weakened their commitment towards democracy, thus inclining them towards a more authoritarian system to retain power. [Choice]
