Again, dynastic succession does not ensure success.

But, despite appearances, few totalitarian regimes, save those of Hitler, Stalin, and Mao, have ever maintained a monolithic inner circle of power.

So far, the succession in Pyongyang seems to be proceeding in an orderly fashion.

There is no denying that a distinguished lineage gives political candidates an advantage over rivals.

Since then, South Korean intelligence institutions have been assessing Kim Jong il s ability to organize an orderly dynastic succession.

A new parliament will be convened on June 2 to elect a national government to succeed the outgoing administration of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

The Asar Party, founded and led by President Nazarbayev's daughter, was expected to claim second place, assuring her eventual succession.

Family and kinship contracts, which govern marriage, adoption, cohabitation, inheritance, etc., form the basic unit of human society.

The sharp reactions of the Orthodox Patriarchate to the actions of the Holy See reflect an ongoing crisis of leadership and legitimacy within the Russian Orthodox church, where a battle is clearly underway for the succession of Aleksey II.

Ordinary North Koreans, too, evidently seem to view this succession differently from that of Kim Jong il s inheritance of power from his father, Kim Il sung.

Some believe that North Korea has begun displaying its growing nuclear threat in order to secure the succession to power of Kim Jong un, Kim Jong il s rotund, twenty something youngest son.

In the 1920s and 1930s a modern evolutionary synthesis connected natural selection, mutation theory, and Mendelian inheritance into a unified theory that applied generally to any branch of biology.

Every cloud has a silver lining.
