    Comparative Politics
     As a new term coined in the 1950s, "comparative
    politics" reflects an expansion of the field of study.
     This new method of studying politics was made
    possible in large part because of the widespread
    dissatisfaction with the traditional descriptive
    approach.
     "Comparative politics" refers to the comparative
    study of government structures and political
    organisations from around the world.
     'Predicament' is a constant, timeless, ever-changing,
    and universal activity that manifests itself in politics.
     Civil association members think and speak about
    their organisations' arrangements and conditions
    from a desired perspective, propose changes to
    these policies, and try to persuade others of their
    merits. They also act in a manner designed to
    promote these changes. This is the stuff of politics
     Political activity, the legislative process, and political
    power are all distinct concepts in comparative
    politics.

     A reduction or resolution of conflicts is inevitable


    when long-term mechanisms for stress reduction are
    in operation.
     If politics is defined as the allocation of "values," a
    conflict between people's values and those of the
    men in power is inevitable. This leads to a rise in
    political activity as a result of efforts to resolve
    conflicts.
     At the point of secession or civil war, "two sides
    allocate their values differently," not an authoritative
    allocation of values.
     End of all political activity is known as "political rest".
    The same way that political stalemate does not open
    a new cycle of political activity, it also closes it. " "
     Political process refers to the procedures by which
    private organisations in a state attempt to influence
    the government, participate in policy-making by the
    government, or become the government.
     There must be consideration given to non-state
    associations' "governments," which operate in a way
    that influences and is influenced by the national
    government.

     To put it another way, the government is like a


    machine that takes in information and outputs
    something else. As a general rule, the government
    operates this way.
     One of the main focuses of comparative politics is
    'political power'. The term "power" has been defined
    in a variety of ways by different authors. "A certain
    kind of human relationship," says Carl J. Friedrich,
    while Tawney describes it as "the capacity for an
    individual or a group to modify the conduct of other
    individual or group members as he desires."
     At its most basic, politics refers to an attempt to
    influence the actions of others toward one's own
    goals. Defined as "the entire spectrum of those
    external influences that, when brought to bear on an
    individual, can make him move in the required
    direction," power can be described in this manner
    with precision.
     It is impossible to study politics "properly" if the roles
    of the ruling and non-ruling elites are not identified
    and measured. the true nature of C and the reason
    for her existence
