This article reviews the most successful research program of the perspective, one based on the density-dependent model of legitimation and competition. It discusses the model and evidence that has been offered in its support as well as criticisms that have been registered. Unsolved research problems of the program are identified and models-in-progress attempting to address these open questions are discussed and compared. date: 1996-06 date_type: published publisher: WP-96-055 iiasapubid: WP-96-055 price: 10 full_text_status: public monograph_type: working_paper place_of_pub: IIASA, Laxenburg, Austria pages: 44 coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/book citation: Carroll, G.R.
