POLITICAL SYSTEM
CONCEPT
Political system is a new system for a
political science which was developed around 1950’s. Before 1950’s it was said
as “Nations”, “State” etc. The political system is a creation of the some
political analysts who are basically from the sociological background. The
theory of political system was firstly developed by ‘David Easton’. Though
there was other scientist who tries earlier also.
The term political system refers to the study
of the government in its experimental aspects. It also study the government
strictly from inter disciplinary standing points. More widely it is a set of
concept considered to make up a political system advanced not to help one to
understand the government and political of a particular but to aid in
understanding the government and politics of the world.
The political system directs the attention to
the inter scope of politics with in a society. Political system is itself is an
organization to make the law and rules to enforce it.
DEFINITONS
Political system is not independent system but
it is a sub-system among the various other systems which directs as well as to
control all other system.
There are lots of definitions regarding the
term political system.
According to David Easton,
“A political system is a system which allocates values by means of its policies
that are binding on the society by the virtue of being authority.”
According to Almon, “It
is a system which converts ‘input’ in the ‘output’.”
According to Almond
and Powell, “When we speak up of the political system we included all the
interactions which affect the use of legislation physical portion.”
In
conclusion we may refer the word of Easton as he has said it as “A political
system is just a means whereby several kinds of input convert into the
outputs.”
FUNCTIONS
OF POLITICAL SYSTEM
Different experts
have defined the term political system differently. Almond has defined forwarding the following points:-
1) Political
socialization and recruitment
2) Interest
aggregation
3) Interest
articulations
4) Political
communications
5) Rule making
(legislature)
6) Rule applications
(executive)
7) Rule adjudication
(Judiciary)
But the most important analysis regarding the
function of the political system is the’ input’
and ‘output’ model represented by “David Eastern”
Function of a political system according to
David Easton
1) Demand
2) Support
3) Feedback
The input or output
model prescribe by the David Easton can be analyzed according to the following:
1) Demand
Demands according to
the David Easton mean the desire of the people as well as the authority. Pupil
may have a number of demands forwarded to the authority according to their
needs and wants. Those demand may based on their profession, business,
regarding the peace and security of the state, communication and information or
may be the control the price of the market.
The system may
collect the various demands from the different sources. The system may itself
bring the demand for the internal sectors and from the outer pressure.
It is not necessary
that the demand should come into the same ratio. It differs sometime in quality
and sometime is quantity. All this demand come from different sources may be
supported or not and some of them may be taken as pending for the future which
will again put forward as a demand.
2) Supports
The support is another variable dealing with
the input or output models. Support may be either Overt or Covert. It is Overt
when an action is clearly and manifestly supported. It is Covert when it is
refers to the supported attuided. Because of the shortage or limitation of
source only few of them may be fulfill to which we know as the support.
3) Feedback
David Easton says that all the output of the
political system is the authoritative decision of the system’s leaders. That
bears on the allocation of values of it in this way feedback are those inputs
not fulfilled by the various reasons and resulted as a output but felt to
operate again.
In summary the output mean all the demands
through which environment can be aggregated, articulated mirrored or summarized
and brought to bear upon the political life.
They influenced the
environment output are the decision of the authorities. In between inputs and
outputs there is a feedback is low. The identification helps us to explain the
process through with the system copes with the stress.
Through it the system
may take advantage by trying to adjust its future behaviors.
