Abstract
This paper analyses several possible determinants of the level of institutional political complexity in primitive societies. The independent variablesare drawn from prior ethnographic and hologeistic studies. The data baseis Murdock and White's (1969) Standard Cross-Cultural Sample. Fourscales of political complexity are used in several bivariate and multivariateanalyses. The best linear predictor of institutional complexity turns out tobe the level of class stratification. Yet, the level of economic developmentexhibits a notable threshold relationship with the dependent variables. Thus,while both social stratification and economic development are independentlyrelated to political complexity, the form of the relationship is distinctive foreach.
