This is a fantastic explanation of Svolik’s methods and the different levels of analysis he uses to support his arguments. Your discussion of the drawbacks in the previous literature and how Svolik adds to our collective knowledge is so useful in a wiki, especially as it prepares us for comprehensive exams. I like that you also included how Svolik defines a dictatorship to make the methodology clearer. Svolik’s methodology is very complex, and you did a great job in summarizing it while maintaining clarity. The typology and divisions of analysis are very well defined here. It was very easy to follow, which is not always the case for multi-level quantitative analysis.
