Political Power and the Political System Around Several Categories of Political Words

Summary/Abstract: RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The main research goal is to determine the importance of the political power for the effectiveness and stabilization of the political system. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: Political power and the political system are categories of key importance in political science, hence it seems justifiable to start a scientific reflection on the mutual relations between the political authority and the political system to make it effective and stable. In order to meet the research question, the methods of researchers are relevant to social sciences, including the science of politics and administration. The particularly useful method was: an in-depth review of the scientific literature as well as the synthesis of conclusions. Two methods relying on text analisis and a synthesis of conclusions will be applied. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: First of all the designations of the concept of power and political power (state power) will be presented, secondly, the definition of the political system will be determined and in the third place the attention will be paid to the role that political power plays in the political system and affects its stability and effectiveness from the theoretical perspective. RESEARCH RESULTS: Political power plays a significant role in the political system. Particularly, legitimate political power can perform its constitutive function of “issuing and enforcing decisions” much more effectively. Political power (legitimated) enjoying social trust can expect an alternation with high probability. Political power understood in this way successfully influences the effectiveness of the political system making it stable. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: the topic discussed is important and not losing its importance. The conclusions from the considerations are particularly addressed to political scientists as well as politicians (decision-makers) responsible for the effective and stable functioning of the political system.
