Political anthropology examines human behavior and thought related to power in stateless and state societies. It analyzes different forms of political organization and leadership across cultures, how they maintain social control, and patterns of social conflict. Major forms include bands without permanent political structures, tribes with part-time leaders, chiefdoms with hereditary chiefs, and states with centralized coercive power over large populations through mechanisms like laws, taxes, and military forces.

Danny_Maribao_Lesson 8-political-organization
This document discusses different forms of political organization from bands to modern nation-states. It begins by defining political organization and power. It then examines bands and tribes as decentralized systems typically associated with small foraging groups. Chiefdoms are introduced as having more centralized power under a hereditary chief. States are defined as having centralized authority and monopoly on the legitimate use of force. Nation-states are discussed as an imagined community of people united by common traits. The document also explores concepts of ethnicity, assimilation, pluri-ethnic states, and indigenous rights within nation-states.
Political socialization and participation
Political socialization is the process by which people acquire political attitudes and behaviors through agents like family, school, media, religion, and political parties. It shapes political culture and participation. Political culture refers to the attitudes and values that characterize a political system, while political socialization deals with individuals. Factors like social status, demographics, and family relationships impact political socialization and how people engage with the political system. In Bangladesh, political socialization is shaped by its history of autocracy, centralized wealth and power in political parties, and the tension between democracy and authoritarianism.
3. PH Pop Culture and Experience Economy.pptx
The document discusses the shift from an agricultural to an experience-based economy in the Philippines. It describes how the Philippines currently has elements of both an agricultural (first wave) and service/knowledge (third wave) economy. An experience economy values memorable consumer experiences over just goods and services. Elements that make an experience memorable include engagement of the senses, unique personal value, and a mental journey. The experience sector provides activities like culture, tourism, and entertainment. This represents a shift to an economy that satisfies people's search for identity and involvement in society.
Global stratification
- Social stratification refers to a hierarchy based on property, power and prestige that exists in all societies. The major stratification systems are slavery, caste, estate and class.
- Karl Marx and Max Weber proposed different theories for what determines social class - Marx argued it is ownership of production means, while Weber argued it is a combination of property, power and prestige.
- Functionalists argue stratification is universal because societies must offer greater rewards to attract capable people to important positions, but conflict theorists see it as a result of elite groups struggling over limited resources.
- Nations can be divided into three groups based on industrialization - most, industrializing, and least industrialized, representing their relative property, power and
Political participation
This document discusses political participation, defining it as voluntary activities citizens undertake to influence government or support politics. It outlines different levels of participation, from simply living in a democratic system to more active involvement like voting, campaigning, protesting, or holding office. A variety of methods of participation are also listed, such as contacting officials, demonstrations, petitions, and financial contributions to political parties.

Political sociology
This document discusses the relationship between political science and sociology. It notes that while political science focuses on political activities of the state and government, sociology also studies the state as a human institution. The two fields are closely intertwined, as political activities take place within a social context and influence society. They share topics of common interest like elections, public opinion, and social legislation. In examining cultural politics, contemporary political sociology considers what events mean to people and how social relations are organized.
Sociology Unit 5 Social Inequality
This document provides an overview of Unit 5 in a sociology course, which examines how social stratification, gender, age, race, and ethnicity contribute to social inequality. It outlines topics that will be covered such as social stratification systems, poverty, race/ethnicity, gender, age, and examines related concepts like discrimination, prejudice, and minority group treatment. Students are expected to understand how these various factors shape social structure and influence human interaction and opportunities.

politics & government types and theories
This document discusses different types of political systems throughout history from hunting and gathering societies to modern nation states. It provides details on four main categories of political systems - monarchy, democracy, authoritarianism, and totalitarianism. It also examines three theories of power in society: the pluralist model which sees power as spread among many groups, the power elite model which argues power is concentrated among the wealthy, and the Marxist model which views the political system as biased by the economic system of capitalism.
Political / Civic Culture
This document discusses political and civic culture. It defines political socialization as the lifelong process through which people learn about politics through various institutions like family, peers, and work. Political culture refers to the fundamental values and knowledge that shape a political system. Civic culture can be parochial, subject, or participant. An authoritarian state may ignore, manipulate, or try to change the political culture of its citizens. Elite political culture consists of the beliefs and attitudes of political elites. The document also examines Hong Kong's political culture and its gradual shift from indifference to greater participation.
Civil Society
This document discusses the role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and citizen groups in politics and governance. It argues that politics involves not just formal government structures, but also the actions of social groups and their interactions with government. NGOs and citizen groups can play an important role by organizing communities, advocating for people's interests, linking the powerful and disempowered, and providing alternative mechanisms for delivering social services. They can help facilitate greater citizen participation in policymaking and enhance democracy.
GOVERNMENTS, SYSTEMS AND REGIMES
Chapter 12: Governments, Systems and Regimes
What is the difference between governments, political systems and regimes?
What is the purpose of classifying systems of government?
On what basis have, and should, regimes be classified?
What are the major regimes of the modern world?
Has western liberal democracy triumphed worldwide?
Classifying the various forms of government has been one of the principal concerns of political analysis through the ages. This process can be traced back to the fourth century BCE, when Aristotle made the first recorded attempt to describe the political regimes then in existence, using terms such as 'democracy', 'oligarchy' and 'tyranny' that are still commonly employed today. From the eighteenth century onwards, governments were increasingly classified as monarchies or republics, or as autocratic or constitutional regimes. During the twentieth century, these distinctions were further sharpened. The 'three worlds' classification of political systems, which was particularly fashionable during the Cold War period, created an image of world politics dominated by a struggle between democracy and totalitarianism. However in the light of modern developments, such as the collapse of communism, the rise of East Asia, and the emergence of political Islam, all such classifications appear outdated. Nevertheless, it is not entirely clear what these shifts mean. Some interpret them as indications of the triumph of western liberal democracy; others see evidence of the modern world becoming politically more diffuse and fragmented.
Regimes have been classified on a variety of bases. 'Classical' typologies, stemming from Aristotle, concentrated on constitutional arrangements and institutional structures, while the 'three worlds' approach highlighted material and ideological differences between the systems found in 'first world' capitalist, 'second world' communist and 'third world' developing states
Economic institution
The economy is the institution that provides for the production and distribution of goods and services, which people in every society need. Sometimes they can provide these things for themselves, and sometimes they rely on others to provide them. When people rely on others for goods or services, they must have something to exchange, such as currency (in industrialized societies) or other goods or services (in nonindustrialized societies). The customs surrounding exchange and distribution of good and services shape societies in fundamental ways.
Kinship
This document defines key concepts related to kinship and family, including kinship, family, household, descent systems, marriage, and residence patterns. It discusses kinship as social relationships based on genealogical ties, and categorizes kinship as either consanguineous (by blood) or affinal (by marriage). The document outlines different systems of determining kinship such as unilineal, bilineal, and bilateral descent. It also defines types of marriages like monogamy, polygamy, and systems of post-marital residence.
HISTORY YEAR 9 - THEOCRACY
A presentation of the Theocracy as form of government, suitable for Year 9 History students (14 years old), consisting in the following: what is a theocracy, the main religions of the world, leaders in a theocracy, theocratic states.
Theories of social stratification marx weber
This document discusses key theories of social stratification put forth by Marx and Weber. Marx viewed social stratification as arising from one's relationship to the means of production, with society progressing through modes of production and resolving internal contradictions through class conflict. Weber emphasized one's class position, status, and party affiliation. He defined class based on economic factors and the labor market. Status referred to social honor independent of class. Parties represented shared class and status interests. Authority was legitimized traditionally, charismatically, or legally-rationally.
Individualism
The document discusses individualism and compares cultures with high and low levels of individualism. It notes that individualism is correlated with factors like GDP per capita, tax rates, government size, and resource ownership. Cultures with high individualism like the US value achievement and independent thinking, while those with low individualism like some Asian and African countries emphasize social conformity, family ties, and collective decision making.
1-Theories-of-Globalization.pptx
The late Marshall McLuhan, a media and communication theorist, coined the term “global village” in 1964 to describe the phenomenon of the world’s culture shrinking and expanding at the same time due to pervasive technological advances that allow for instantaneous sharing of culture. Several theories of globalization are discussed in the document, including world systems theory, theories of global capitalism, theories of transnationality and transnationalism, theories of global culture, McDonaldization theory, and Appadurai's concept of global cultural flows. The document provides an overview of key concepts and theorists in the study of globalization.
Political institutions
Political institutions are organizations that create, enforce, and apply laws to mediate conflict and make policy regarding the economy and social systems. They establish a set of norms around the distribution of power and authority to manage society. Examples include political parties, trade unions, and courts. Political institutions can be formal or informal and exist at both formal and informal levels. The main branches of government are the legislature, which makes laws; the judiciary, which interprets laws; and the executive, which implements laws. Political institutions provide structure to political systems and work to regulate relationships, provide welfare, protect citizens, exercise social control, provide recreation, resolve conflicts, collect revenue, and control resources.
Globalization of World Politics: An Introduction to International Relations
George W. Bush's foreign policy argued that old methods of dealing with challenges were obsolete. It changed sharply after 9/11 to emphasize unilateralism. This led to the controversial war in Iraq, whose reasons and effects are still highly debated. The end of the Cold War led to American primacy, but also new issues like inequality, the rise of China, and challenges to European integration and Russian authoritarianism. Globalization became a major topic of discussion around increasing interconnectedness and its contested impacts.
Linkage Between Political Participation and Political Development
This document discusses political participation and political development. It defines political participation as activities that influence government action, either directly or indirectly. It lists different forms of political participation like voting, campaigning, and protesting. The document also defines political development as a country's ability to respond efficiently to new problems through specialized institutions and roles. Increased political participation can both aid and hinder political development by strengthening engagement but also potentially straining institutions or raising new issues. Overall, political participation and development are correlated but must balance popular will with stable governance.
Social philosophy
This document discusses several topics related to social philosophy, human acts, sense of nationhood, teachers' relationships, ethics and moral philosophy, and the legal bases of the Philippine education system.
Some key points include: social philosophy addresses questions about social behavior and structures; human acts must be knowing, free, and voluntary; a sense of nationhood involves concepts of nationalism and managing conflicting values; teachers must maintain professional relationships with students, parents, colleagues and the community; ethics examines values and morality; and major Philippine laws governing education include the 1987 Constitution, the Education Act of 1982, and Executive Order 117.
Political life
Societies have different ways of maintaining social order and resolving disputes that vary based on their level of political organization. Band societies are small and nomadic hunter-gatherer groups with informal authority. Tribal societies are larger, more sedentary groups organized into clans and age sets. Chiefdoms have formal hierarchies and integrate multiple communities, with chiefs holding permanent positions of authority. States have centralized governments with monopolies on force that govern many communities through laws, taxes, and conscription.
Chapter 13 Government & Law
This document discusses different forms of government and political systems. It begins by defining key concepts like the state, authority, legitimacy, and power. It then describes different forms of government like autocracy, oligarchy, and democracy. It discusses how power is acquired, exercised and maintained in different systems.

The system comprises of institutions, organizations, rules, principles, and behaviours related to conflict resolution, ie court system, executive, parliament, behaviours like voting.
a political system in which citizens govern themselves either directly or indirectly. The term democracy comes from Greek and means “rule of the people.” In Lincoln’s stirring words from the Gettysburg Address, democracy is “government of the people, by the people, for the people.” In direct (or pure) democracies, people make their own decisions about the policies and distribution of resources that affect them directly.
politicalinequality in the philippines.pptx
This document discusses political inequality and political dynasties. It defines political inequality as unequal political influence and power between groups, which can be measured by levels of political participation, democracy rankings, and political representation. Political dynasties occur when related individuals hold successive political offices, concentrating power within families. In the Philippines, many prominent political dynasties have held power for generations at national and local levels. While the constitution prohibits political dynasties, implementing laws are still needed. Debates continue around how to minimize dynastic power and ensure equal access to political participation.
Bridges
The document discusses several aspects of democracy in the Philippines:
1) Self-help groups at the local level and numerous NGOs encourage citizen participation and consensus-building.
2) While economic and political power remain concentrated, competition between powerful families and diversifying sources of wealth create opportunities for democracy.
3) The Philippines has a long history of upholding liberal democratic freedoms like open criticism of government and right to protest, despite periods of authoritarian rule.
ss10_unit3
This document discusses concepts of power, authority, and sovereignty.

2. Political organizations have evolved from bands and tribes dominated by personal ties, to chiefdoms led by patriarchal leaders, and modern nation-states with bureaucratic institutions.
3. Of the three types of authority, legal-rational authority has the highest degree of stability according to Weber since it is grounded in established legal procedures.

As a result, many of the traditional assumptions and beliefs held by scholars, policy makers, and citizens are open to question. New centres of wealth may reduce poverty, increase inequality, or both. Democracy may be an inexorable force, or it may founder on the obstacles of nationalism, economic instability, or culture. New forms of electronic communication may bind people across societies, creating shared identities, or fragment communities, generating a backlash

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
