Yes, political dynasty is a factor in worsening the crises and conflicts of a country. Political dynasties are common in most countries around the world, but we know little about how dynastic rule affects economic development. Close family members are the worst-performing dynasties, suggesting that easier access to party tickets may explain underperformance. Dynasties appear to have weaker performance incentives than non-dynasties, as their vote shares in subsequent elections are less correlated with in-office performance today. In this way, inheriting political capital may mute the performance incentives of dynastic politicians. But there are several evidence that politicians with sons perform better in office, suggesting that incentives to establish a dynasty can motivate better performance. In countries across the world where broad political institutions are weak and local familial and kin networks are strong, politics is necessarily shaped by the logic and loyalties of kinship. And when dynasties grow powerful enough to dominate political contestation, this in turn means that the vendettas to which kinship networks are prone can grow strong enough to drag weaker states and their populations into warfare and widespread conflict. https://thedocs.worldbank.org/en/doc/6807915287211949190050022018/original/siddynastiesdraft26May2018.pdf
