(The impact of the system environment on the political decision-making process)

Abstract

The political system does not exist and does not operate in a vacuum, but rather in an environment that affects it and influences it. Despite being treated as an independent system, it actually interacts with other societal systems, including economic, social, natural, and cultural ones. It interacts with the external environment, regionally and globally ( ). It can be noted that the proponents of systemic analysis, led by David Easton, base their analyses of political systems on the concepts of system and equilibrium, which are two concepts transferred from physics to the social sciences. They were used in the nineteenth century in economic and social analysis, and in the twentieth century in political analysis. According to this approach, the political system is the tool of society in achieving its integration and harmony ( ).
