The political system of any modern state is quite complex. It includes not only different levels of legislative, executive and judicial power, but also a wide range of political organizations. Parties and social movements play an important role in the life of the state.
Place of political organizations in public life
In democracies, political organizations have a significant influence on the implementation of foreign and domestic policies. Their activities are aimed at the fullest satisfaction of the interests of various social groups, which differ in their composition and political views. Political organizations and movements are usually built on a professional, ethnic or class basis.
A political organization essentially represents a mass association of people on a voluntary basis, which has its own goals set forth in the constituent and program documents. Such organizations are being built to solve not only economic, but also political problems. The main one is participation in the struggle for representation in government. An example is any political party.
Being a full-fledged subject of the political process, such public associations of citizens differ from other types of organizations in that they seek to gain access to power. Political work includes agitation among the general public, propaganda of the ideas of the movement and expansion of the sphere of influence. Political organizations express and protect the interests of a particular social group.
