There are a number of types of political regime that exist more in theory than anywhere in the world. One example of this is a strict meritocracy, for example, where leaders are chosen based on their ability to lead. Other theoretical systems include a corporatocracy, a popular theme in science fiction, in which corporations rule their own sovereign states; and a geniocracy, in which leaders are selected based on their problem-solving abilities and creativity.

 

12. Give the definition of the political system

A political system is a system of politics and government. It is usually compared to the legal system, economic system, cultural system, and other social systems. However, this is a very simplified view of a much more complex system of categories involving the views: who should have authority, how religious questions should be handled, and what the government's influence on its people and economy should be.

Overview

There are several definitions of "political system":

· A political system is a complete set of institutions, interest groups (such as political parties, trade unions, lobby groups), the relationships between those institutions and the political norms and rules that govern their functions (constitution, election law).

· A political system is composed of the members of a social organization (group) who are in power.

· A political system is a system that necessarily has two properties: a set of interdependent components and boundaries toward the environment with which it interacts.

· A political system is a concept in which theoretically regarded as a way of the government makes a policy and also to make them more organized in their administration.

· A political system is one that ensures the maintaining of order and sanity in the society and at the same time makes it possible for some other institutions to also have their grievances and complaints put across in the course of social existence.

Commonalities between political systems:

· Interdependent parts

· Citizens Culture

· Government

· Boundaries

· Citizenship

· Territory

· Sociology of Political Systems

· Property

[edit]Anthropological forms of political systems

Anthropologists generally recognize four kinds of political systems, two of which are uncentralized and two of which are centralized.[1]

· Uncentralized systems

· Band

· Small kin group, no larger than an extended family or clan; it has been defined as consisting of no more than 30 to 50 individuals.

· A band can cease to exist if only a small group walks out.

· Tribe

· Generally larger, consisting of many families. Tribes have more social institutions, such as a chief or elders.

· More permanent than bands; a band can cease to exist if only a small group walks out. Many tribes are sub-divided into bands.

· Centralized systems

· Chiefdom

· More complex than a tribe or a band society, and less complex than a state or a civilization

· Characterized by pervasive inequality and centralization of authority.

· A single lineage/family of the elite class becomes the ruling elite of the chiefdom

· Complex chiefdoms have two or even three tiers of political hierarchy.

· "An autonomous political unit comprising a number of villages or communities under the permanent control of a paramount chief"

· State

· A sovereign state is a state with a permanent population, a defined territory, a government and the capacity to enter into relations with other sovereign states.

· Supranational Political Systems

Supranational political systems are created by independent nations to reach a common goal or form an alliance.

·

· Empires

· Empires are widespread states or communities under a single rule. They are characterized by the rulers desire for unanimous religious affiliation or posing as threat for other empires in times of war.* Empires often made lots of progress in ways of democratic structures, creating and building city infrastructures, and maintaining civility within the diverse communities. Because of the intricate organization of the empires, they were often able to hold a large majority of power on a universal level.*

· Leagues

· Leagues are international organizations composed of states coming together for a single common purpose.* In this way leagues are different than empires, as they only seek to fulfill a single goal. Oftentimes leagues are formed on the brink of a military or economic downfall. Meetings and hearings are conducted in a neutral location with representatives of all involved nations present.

[edit]Political parties in political systems

Political systems do not inherently require the institution of political parties to advance the politics of the political system. Political parties are formed after political systems are put in place.

[edit]American political parties (democracy/republic)

In the case of American politics, Article Two of the United States Constitution, specifically Section I, gives no mention to political parties when describing the presidential election process. It was only after the establishment of the government did the first political parties form.

George Washington, the first U.S. president was against the establishment of political parties in most circumstances and therefore belonged to no party. In his Farewell Address Washington gives reason for his distrust in political parties, specifically in the newly formed United States. Washington does endorse political parties in some political systems however, specifically monarchies.

Further information: Political Parties

Washington is the only President not to be elected through a party oriented election process. Because of this, it is difficult to comment on an America without political party institutions. Washington’s case does point to the original path of the American political system however, one lacking political parties.

Both the U.S. Constitution and Washington provide support for the American political system, a Democracy and Republic, to be founded without political parties. The past has shown this type of system to work well with parties, but nonetheless, these two systems do not require political parties in their institutions.

Over the years the American political system has seen a sharp decline in voter turnout. In 1960, over 63% of the American population cast their presidential votes, whereas by 1996, there were less than 50% of Americans showing up to the polls.* Not only are the domestic voting numbers low, but the United States has one of the lowest voter turnout rates among other democratic nations.*Analysts say many factors play into these low numbers. For example, in many states felons are banned from poll booths. Also, if a citizen is abroad during the time of an election they are banned from voting as well. In the American political system, it is mandatory voters register weeks before the actual Election Day, so many citizens forget to register and are unable to cast their ballots.*

[edit]Sociology of political systems

The sociological interest in political systems is figuring out who holds the power in the relationship of the government and its people and how the government’s power is used. There are three types of political systems that sociologists consider.

·

· Authoritarianism

· In authoritarian governments, the people have no power or representation. The elite leaders handle all economic, military, and foreign relations. Dictatorships are examples of authoritarianism.

· Totalitarianism is the most extreme form of authoritarianism because it controls all aspects of life including communication between citizens, censors the media, and threatens by means of terror.

· Monarchies

· A monarchy is a government controlled by a king or queen determined by a predisposed line of sovereignty.* In the modern world there are two types of monarchies, absolute monarchies and constitutional monarchies. An absolute monarchy works like a dictatorship in that the king has complete rule over his country.* A constitutional monarchy gives the royal family limited powers and usually works in accordance with an elected body of officials.* Social revolutions of the 18th, 19th, and 20th century overthrew the majority of existing monarchies in favor of a more democratic governments and the rise of the lower-class.

· Democracy

· A democracy is a form of government in which the citizens create and vote for laws directly.* The idea of democracy stems back from ancient Greece and the profound works of ancient academics. However, the presence of democracy doesn’t always mean citizen’s wishes will be equally represented. For example, in many democratic countries immigrants, and racial and ethnic minorities do not receive the same rights as the majority citizens.
