  8. What are Institutions? • Stable long lasting organizations that help to turn political ideas into policy. • Examples? • Linkage Institutions: Groups that connect the government to its citizens. • Examples? • How does development and country size impact linkage institutions?

  9. Types of Change • Reform: Change that does not overthrow the basic institutions but only some of the methods that political and economic leaders use to reach goals that the society generally accepts. • Revolution: Change at a more basic level, and involves either a major revision or an overthrow of existing institutions. • Coup d’etat: “blow to the state”, replaces the leadership of a country with new leaders. Usually happens where government institutions are weak and leaders have taken control by force. Often by the military.

  12. Transparency • A transparent government is one that operates openly by keeping citizens informed about government operations and political issues and by responding to citizens questions & advice.

  13. Social Cleavages • Societies are split along lines (cleavages) that form different political views • Social Class – Marx - “bourgeois vs. proletariat” • Geographic Region – Mexico North vs. South • Religion- Nigeria has Muslim north vs. Christian south • Urban-Rural – China has stark differences • Cross-cutting cleavages – people may disagree in one area but agree in another, keeps states from breaking apart.
