political power - it is a direct and mandatory content of policy.However, it is not enough to ensure the indivisibility of society to coordinate between different interest groups, to keep the system stable, while contributing to its development, to respond quickly in the event of imminent danger.The main thing in politics is, what kind of power, and then what function it performs and how well.And this is expressed in practice in the work of parties, of coercion and state institutions.The whole process of the organization of political power and its operation is determined by the term "political system".Its content includes a set of institutions that exercise power.It also includes all forms of communication between the control subjects and objects.
When the concept of the "political system" is coined, it meant that the policy began to be understood as an independent field of science.Become aware of and interrelation of all processes and structures.To find out what changes have taken place, whether it is able to provide stability and balance in the interests of the Group, it is necessary to take into account certain circumstances.Firstly, only the interaction with non-political world attaches policy sense.And secondly, it is that it is an area practically independent and has the features of the system.And all of its elements are so interconnected that changing one will also change their entirety.
Introduced the concept of "system" in the academic community in the early 20th century German biologist.He represented it as a set of interacting elements.But it took more than a decade before, and in the social sciences began to be used in practice, a systematic approach.
its development in political science was due to the change of the processes taking place in the political sphere, its inextricable link with the non-political world.This theory was a response to the then dominant practice of considering all elements individually and not in their entirety.After awareness communication policy with other spheres of life come in political science at once.The whole life of society fit into its framework and subject only to the state.It is solely responsible for the transmission of values and resources.But with the emergence of civil society, a host of interests of all groups of the population.
On this basis, the beginning of specialization to occur within the society political functions and roles.To understand the reasons for this distribution is impossible without taking into account the cultural life of society and its mentality.The concept of "political system" has replaced the concept of the state and allowed to take into account the impact on the functioning of the political world of informal mechanisms.It also provided an opportunity to understand the interaction and interrelationship of civil society and political behavior and culture.
This concept was first introduced by American scientists.The political system is widely understood by them and refers to the set of all structures of society in their political manifestations, and characterizes the interactions between society and the authorities.American political scientist G. Almond made some amendments to the definition of this concept.According to him, the political system includes not only political institutions and economic and social structures.In addition, it includes the values and traditions of the society, which are historical and cultural background of its development.
modern political system existing in the world, is a great variety.This indicates that their subsystems forming integrity, interdependent and interconnected in various ways.One mechanism that dominates in this interaction, and is the basis for a typology of a particular political system.
