This makes an interesting case I don’t often hear, which is that political stability, and especially stable succession, can overcome many other conditions that would tend to lead to general instability and lack of development. To me this further seems to suggest that the underlying factor that’s important to development is stability, and other things simply affect the specifics of how development proceeds, while stability is usually (always?) the deciding factor.

Does that fit with what you’ve seen?
