Political Leadership: Entry and Exit
Journal Title: Journal of Social Economics - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Political organisations come in different forms: national, regional and local besides international ones. One may approach them as legal entities, calling them “states”, regional or local “governments”. Or they may be looked upon sociologically as communities of people with beliefs and values. Here, I will call them political systems and states “government”. Typical of government is leadership, the more developed the more formalised leadership will be, especially as the government faces determinate geographical boundaries. Since leadership positions are sought after, because they have pecuniary implications directly or indirectly, the aspects of entry into and exist from leadership becomes most important for the functioning of government. The basic logic of a government can be formulated with the concepts of remuneration of leaders against the value that the leaders create for society, directly or indirectly.
