The author hypothesizes that games of strategy will be more prevalent in societies where political power is based on a “network strategy.” In such societies, political leaders manipulate social relations and symbols to aggrandize themselves. The author hypothesizes that such activities will promote the importance of obedience, and will foster the emergence and perpetuation of games of strategy. The author tests this hypothesis using data from a random sample of 26 societies, and finds strong support.
