There is no need to explain that each of the people living today has in one way or another encountered and continues to encounter various forms of political governance. This is especially true for those who, due to their professional activities, must either work with politicians or are themselves politicians. But sometimes people tend not to understand the essence of the phenomenon that they face every day. This is precisely what is happening with the phenomenon of political governance. Everyone knows that it exists, but not many people know how it is carried out.
Definition and analysis of concepts
It’s worth starting with the most obvious, namely the meaning and meaning of the words that make up the term “political governance”. So what is politics and what is governance? It is obvious? It is possible that not very.
Politics - what is it?
Politics is a set of concepts, which include the work of organizations that determine the main areas of government activity, and the work of organizations that directly implement the developed plan. Politics also devotes time to all the phenomena and incidents of society, which are somehow connected with the work of state managers. It will not be amiss to note that the study of politics is the science of political science.
Management: who, why and how
What about management? The term itself is associated with politics, sometimes they can even be considered interchangeable. But not always, after all, political governance is just one of the varieties of governance. In a broader sense, control can be considered everything that is associated with the conscious influence of the subject on the object with the desire to achieve a well-defined goal. Management is literally everywhere. For example, the management of a political organization. But in economics, law, and even culture, there is also governance. So how is political governance so different from everyone else?
Well, for starters, the state institute has a monopoly on the use of force. This is really important in our time, because most of the offenses are just the same in the attempts of individuals to use this right, which does not belong to them in any way.
There is also no and cannot be any doubt that this type of government is completely tied to the relations of the people with the authorities. They can arise exclusively in the conditions of the existence of any political institution and people controlled by it. There is another point of view. Its followers argue that the task of political management is to create an organization with its goals and plans. Their views on politics would be relatively the same, which would allow them to achieve any visible results in the international political arena.
So here. Political management in a broader sense is simply a form of controlling society under the condition of the existence of socio-political relations.
In many ways, these assumptions make it possible to fully realize such an important aspect as the fact that management sometimes includes other areas of public life, for example, economics, law, and culture.
Components
It is easy to assume that one of the main components of political governance is the presence of any political institution, political party or leader. But also it is impossible to do without any object over which the subject will conduct various manipulations.
But how exactly do they interact with each other? How is contact made?
This is where the various control channels come into play. These include the publication of laws, speeches of ministers and presidents on television and so on. It is thanks to such publicity that the authorities maintain contact between the state and its people.
But how exactly are these communication channels regulated? Indeed, in this matter, one simply cannot leave everything without the strictest supervision. And with this understanding, controls were introduced. They include various ways of exchanging and transmitting information, as well as ways of assimilating and understanding them.
From all this we can conclude that in political management people are without any prejudice to the replacement of the subject of control of the object, and vice versa. This is a common practice, and it no longer surprises anyone. In a democratic state, it can even be counted as one of the manifestations of the system of checks and balances. The most obvious example is the relationship between citizens and the state in a country where democracy prevails. People, being the source of power, elect the parliament and the president, and they already manage people at their discretion and in accordance with applicable laws. Another example is the interdependent relationship between various public authorities.
But at the same time, one should not miss the fact that in the conditions of political management of society one cannot do without a political struggle, which in most cases is characterized by inexplicable cruelty. Obviously, ordinary citizens have little use for it, unless the loser is the person who exploited the power granted to him, but this happens only in fifty percent of cases. Or even less.
However, as mentioned earlier, not only representatives of public authorities, but also the people themselves can influence politics. There are several ways. They are divided into direct and indirect effects. In the first case, a person participates in various rallies and demonstrations, reacts violently to various public incidents, takes part in the activities of political parties, writes letters and appeals to political figures, meets with them and becomes the same himself. And in the second case, people just go to the polls and shift responsibility to the elect.
Differences
Perhaps the first and most important difference between state political administration and just political one is the fact that the first of the concepts is much wider than the second in meaning. You can even imagine their relationship in such a way that public administration itself is a special case of the political.
The second of the differences is that public administration goes from state to people. And with political management, the situation is completely different. It goes from the people to civil society, and from it to the state.
The most obvious fact of the existing
In rare cases, the issue of political power and governance can be called easy. In countries where civil society is highly developed, state power does not and cannot have a monopoly on governance. This is because civil society creates various political parties and movements, circles, groups and structures, and they, in turn, influence state managers. Accordingly, in states where civil society is not developed, there is not only one type of government - state.
System
It is characteristic that the political management system is divided into several categories. In general, they can all be described as political regimes, but among themselves they are also divided into separate elements. And the principles by which the partition is made are quite diverse. For example, political scientists usually turn to dividing primarily on the basis of the way in which decisions of a national scale are made. In this case, authoritarian and democratic regimes are distinguished.
If people are interested in borders in which the state has the right to intervene in the life of society, one of such regimes can be called liberal and totalitarian.
How exactly does the state care for its citizens, and does it care at all? To answer this question, it is necessary to find out what socio-economic laws the named state adheres to in its relations with citizens. That is, to find out whether socio-political management is carried out in this country or not.
If the economy is fully controlled by the state, and the only existing type of property is state, then we can safely say that the country has a totalitarian-distribution regime. It is characterized by a planned command economy and the denial of private enterprise and property in general.
In the event that the state political administration exercises control over the state only in exceptional and strictly defined situations, then the regime can be safely described as liberal-democratic. It is characterized primarily by free trade, the predominance of private property, the development of entrepreneurship and competition.
If the question arises of how the government relates to what is happening in the country at a certain point in time, then it is possible to single out conservative, reformist, progressive and reactionary regimes without any doubt. Conservative countries deify traditions and strive not to backtrack on established laws. Reformed, on the contrary, want to change the existing regime. This mode is characterized by innovations. The progressive regime is characterized by the multilateral development of the whole life of society. But the reactionary regime seeks, so to speak, to "return to the past." In the event that a reactionary policy is pursued in the country, the government directs all efforts to abolish any innovations and do everything as it was before.
Authorities
Political governing bodies are legalized organizations that are vested with power and all the rights and obligations associated with it. They are divided into federal, regional, local, central, as well as higher and lower. The number of political governing bodies is regulated exclusively by the highest regulatory legal acts. Different countries may have different numbers of governing bodies, and this is not surprising, because in no case their number does not affect quality.
Military Directorate of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation
It is also important not to forget that the state controls not only the life of society. They are required to protect the interests of citizens. Both inside and outside the state. What allows them to do this? Of course, the presence of an army. And it must also be controlled, because without control, such power can very easily become a problem.
Speaking about the Russian Federation, one cannot fail to note the role played by the Armed Forces in it. But, as it turned out, the citizens ceased to perceive the army and navy as something, do not be afraid of the word, great. That is why Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin created the Main Military-Political Directorate. This happened at the end of July 2018, although there was talk of the need for such an agency since February of that year. If we look at what is said in the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation, the Military-Political Directorate of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation should organize work in the Armed Forces. This is an extremely important task. It is also they who must inform citizens about what the Armed Forces are doing, and strengthen public respect for the Armed Forces. Patriotic moods should also be controlled precisely by them. At a recent meeting, the current head of the military department said that one of the main priorities of their organization is to stop falsification of history.
The Main Military Directorate of the Armed Forces inherited the experience of a Soviet organization of a similar type, but a number of transformations were nevertheless completed. For example, before this organization and the leading party were practically inseparable from each other. Now this, of course, is not and cannot be. The chiefs of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Armed Forces also strive to ensure that their employees do not devote themselves entirely to military affairs. Given that we all live in the modern world, it is important that they have contact skills with representatives of various institutions of society.
One of the main features of this organization is also considered the fact that employees of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Armed Forces cannot participate in any political movements.
