[SEA History] MG Stab/Instab (TS)

TS: Factor + MG Quality - What it did - Causal Significance - Outcome

+ The maximum government's ability to use and monopolize control of state apparatus as a means to ensure opposition inability to revive itself made it possible for the maximum government to sustain political control, as seen in the maintenance of power within the hands of the ruling elite.

+ Through the maximum government's extensive influence over multiple areas of society, it enabled the creation of effective institutions that help develop political goodwill, thus aiding in the cultivation of a supportive electorate, as seen in the maximum government's continued popularity in the political realm.

+ The maximum government's monopoly of power enabled the practicing of political patronage which courted the loyalty of non-government actors, thus removing political threats to the maximum government, resulting in the maintenance of political control by the maximum government. 

+ Through the monopoly of power, the maximum government's utility of legislation to suppress opposition drastically reduced the opposition's ability to challenge the incumbent government by isolating its support bases, thus enabling political stability, evident by the absence of a viable political opponent to the incumbent government.

- Declining support for authoritarian regimes as a result of a changing international climate led to the loss of economic aid, causing the maximum government to be unable to cultivate mass support for the regime, thus resulting in the establishment of a civilian government instead.

- The presence of strong political opponents undermined the activities and actions of the maximum government, resulting in the loss of legitimacy for the maximum government.
