This document discusses political systems from both an institutional and systemic perspective. It defines a political system as a structural and functional organization consisting of interdependent parts that form an integrated whole to achieve objectives. A political system exists within a social system and interacts with its external environment. The document outlines David Easton's model of a political system, which consists of inputs, a conversion process, outputs, and feedback between the system and its environment. It also discusses different types of modern political systems based on principles of democracy and modernity.

Political Science inquiry today is influenced by the theories that have been developed and presented over several centuries.
According to Oxford Dictionary of Politics, Political Science is a social science discipline concerned with the study of the state, nation, government, and politics and policies of government. Aristotle defined it as the study of the state. It deals extensively with the theory and practice of politics, and the analysis of political systems, political behavior, and political culture. Political scientists "see themselves engaged in revealing the relationships underlying political events and conditions, and from these revelations they attempt to construct general principles about the way the world of politics works. Political science intersects with other fields; including economics, law, sociology, history, anthropology, public administration, public policy, national politics, international relations, comparative politics, psychology, political organization, and political theory. Although it was codified in the 19th century, when all the social sciences were established, political science has ancient roots; indeed, it originated almost 2,500 years ago with the works of Plato and Aristotle.

What is Political System?
Political system, the set of formal legal institutions that constitute a “government” or a “state.”
Political system is seen as a set of “processes of interaction” or as a subsystem of the social system interacting with other non political subsystems, such as the economic 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.

Today’s China is an interesting amalgam of communist ideology and capitalist practice. In 1949, Mao Zedong established the People’s Republic of China with himself as the ruler. Mao’s influence on China can hardly be overstated; under his dictatorial leadership, China underwent significant social, cultural, and economic change. Mao’s “Little Red Book” of communist thought and ideology was, and still is, required reading throughout China. His modernization programs quickly industrialized the country, but the Cultural Revolution decimated professional classes and easily set China back. Following his death, the Communist Party of China instituted a term limit for presidents at two five-year terms in order to limit the type of power Mao had acquired. While Chinese presidents remain quite powerful, perhaps even authoritarian, politicians since Mao have abided by these rules.
However, in March 2018, China’s National People’s Congress agreed to abolish term limits on China’s president, which had been in place since Mao Zedong in order to allow its current president, Xi Jinping, to hold power for many years to come. In addition to his position as president, Xi also holds the positions of general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission. While many in the West had hoped that economic reforms in China, allowing for some capitalist practices, would eventually lead the country to a democratic future, Xi’s consolidation of power for the foreseeable time means that nothing like democratic principles appear to be at work. The challenge, then, for political scientists, is to understand the complex politics of a country as large and as complicated as China. With its long historical traditions and blending of communism and capitalism, it is a country that the West often misunderstands.
Comparative politics is the study of countries and politics around the world; comparativists examine the same thing political scientists do in American politics but do it in an international manner. They study institutions, political parties, public opinion, and voting all around the world. Some will compare patterns in one country to patterns in another or study the politics of an entire region. The name comparative politics also applies to another aspect of study: the methodology used. In comparing and contrasting countries, comparativists seek to understand why politics is different or the same around the world.

SUMMARV
This chapter has considered law as a mechanism of formal social control. Law comes into
play whin other forms of social control are weak, ineffective, or unavailable' Individuals
ina g.oupr are led to behave in acceptable ways through the processes of socialization
and ixfernal pressures in the form of sanctions from others. Mechanisms of social control
through external pressures may be formal and informal, and include both tregative and
positive sanctions. Informal social controls are exemplified in the functions of folkways
and mores. Informal sosial controls tend to be effective when there is intense social inter'
action on an intimate face-to-face basis, normative consensus. and surveillance of the be-
havior of members of the community (see, for example, Norris and Wilson, ZOOT)' Formal
social controls are characteristic of more complex societies with a greater division of Ia-
bor and different sets of mores, yalues. and ideologies Formal social controls arise when
informal controls are insufficient to maintain conformity to certain norms. Laws are one
type of formal social control, Other types of formal social controls rely on both penalties
and rewards. whereas conrrol through the law is exercised primarily. but not exclusively,
by the use of punishments to regulate behavior.
The social control of criminal and delinquent behavior represents the most highly
structured formal system used by society to attempt to control deviant behavior (see, for
example. Brudner.2009). The concept legalization describes the process by which norms
are moved from the social to the legal level. It also entails the incorporation of specific
punishments for special kinds of criminal law violators. The goals of punishment are ret-
ribution or social retaliation, incapacitation, and both specific and general deterrence-
Punishment is a deterrent in situations that involve low-commitment individuals who en-
gage in instrumental crimes.The death penalty, as the most severe form of punishment,
remains controversial, and there is no agreement on its deterrent effect.
Formal control of deviant behavior is not limited to criminal sanctions. The use of
civil commitm6nt as a mechanism of legal control is more widespread. In civil commit-
ment, there are no procedural safeguards available for the defendant. Civil commitment
operates through the process of rtefining deviant behavior as a mental disorder. and it in-
cludes the involuntary commitmert of alcoholics, drug addicts, sex offenders, and trou-
blesome tgenagers. It al ...

Political system and its approach
1. POLITICAL SYSTEM AND ITS TYPES
POLITICAL SYSTEM FROM INSTITUTIONAL
TO SYSTEMIC APPROACH
Institutional approach in the study of politics has been common in the past. Political science
was believed to be mainly, even exclusively, concerned with the study of such political
institutions as the state and government, their various activities, pans and functions. In this
approach, no attempt was made to see any relationship or effect both within and outside an
institution. However this approach began to change at the end of the nineteenth and in the
beginning of the twentieth century. It was brought about by a new approach to the study of a
politics, which is known as system analysis. It was also due to the need for comparing
different kinds of states and governments in the world, especially after the World War II.
SYSTEM ANALYSIS OF POLITICAL SYSTEM
From about 130 and especially since the behavioral revolution in 1950 the study of politics
has been influenced by the concept is derived from biology and physical sciences, in which
the focus is on systems. System is bounded regions in space-time, involving energy
interchange among their parts, which are associated in functional relationship. In simpler
words, it means that every living and non-living body consist of two or more parts, which are
constantly acting and interceding with each other as well as with the environment around it,
as a single operating whole, or as a system. Examples of such operating wholes or system
are countless, for the whole universe is full of them. Some are very small and other
immense in dimensions. The atom is a system, and so are molecules, crystals, viruses,
clocks, engines, ocean fleets, animals (including humans), small groups, like families or
schools, societies (including state or political systems), planets, solar systems, galaxies,
etc. If, however, we restrict ourselves to living systems, they are really behavior systems,
which extend from viruses and animal to human societies and political system. Moreover, a
system consists of two or more subsystems. For instance, human body, which is in itself a
system, consist of several subsystem, such as the nervous system, the digestive system,
the circulatory system, etc.
DEFINITION OF A SYSTEM
2. A system is a structural functional organization of two or more separate but interdependent
parts, which form an integrated whole o achieve some objectives. Each system has two or
more subsystems within it, while it is itself a subsystem of a larger system, which forms its
environment. For example, a family is a subsystem of the society, or a political party is a
subsystem of the state which is itself a political system.
Every system has the following characteristics
1: INTER-DEPENDENCE
It means that the functioning of a system depends on the proper functioning of each one of
its component parts.
2: DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM
A system maintains itself throughout a limited period of time. If anything goes wrong in it,
some regulatory mechanism comes into operation to restore equilibrium.
3: ACTIVITY
A system is a flow process it exist to convert inputs into output.
4: DEPENDENCE ON EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT
A system maintains itself by constantly interacting with the environment around it. Such a
system is known as an open system.
DEFINITION OF POLITICAL SYSTEM
A political system means a network of individuals, groups and organizations whose
interactions, and relationships help to determine, enforce and interpret the rules and policies
governing the behavior of the society. It includes not only the governmental institutions,
such as legislature, courts, or administrative agencies but also all structures in their political
aspects, as Almond says. Every political system exists with a social system or society, of
which it is, a subsystem. The society around the political system is its environment, from
which it is separated by its boundaries. The political system may be described as follow.
International political system: – Which is the international community – IGO, INGO,
etc
National political system: The individual national system and individual states and
goverment
3. Decision making sub system: Which is includes form of government constitution,
political party, interest group etc
Citizen as a voter which demand and support
TYPES OF MODERN POLITICAL SYSTEM
They are differentiated from each other on the basis of the principles of
Democracy
Modernity
A political system is said to be democratic if its political subsystem, like political parties or
interest groups, enjoy autonomy with regard to the decision-making governmental system. If
not, it is a traditional political system. Hence there are four types of political systems, as
under
Traditional non-democratic political system.
Traditional democratic political system.
Modern non-democratic Political System.
DAVID EASTON POLITICAL SYSTEM
The first political scientist to apply systems analysis to politics in his book, The Political
System, which he wrote in 1953. The concept of political system was very formally the sold
by the political scientist. Easton defines a political system is that system of the interactions
in any society through which binding or authoritative allocations are made and implemented.
Authoritative allocations relate to the values or objects or resources of human needs and
desires. They can be roughly translated as laws or acts of policy.
Easton’s model of the political system consists of two main parts the environment and the
political system as such. The political system consists of
The conversion process,
The inputs,
The outputs,
THE FEEDBACK OF EASTON FOR POLITICAL SYSTEM
According to Easton, there are, besides the political system, two other political systems.
One of them is bellow it, which he called Para-political system, e.g. political panics,
pressure groups, etc. and the other is above it, namely the international political system. But
4. it is the national political system which is political system par excellence because it alone
makes and implements authoritative decisions allocating values or goods and resources to
individuals, and groups, in the society.
