الديناميكيات السياسية ودورها في انقسام المجتمعات: دراسة تحليلية
الديناميكيات السياسية
Abstract
The research discusses how political dynamics affect the division of society, especially when the authority deliberately acts unjustly in the authoritative allocation of values among social groups in society, bringing some groups closer and excluding others. This leads to the creation of gaps between the groups that make up society, which widen in intensity and increase in depth when political elites, through their political discourse and legal procedures, deliberately follow preferential and discriminatory policies between those groups. This ends with the division of society and the occurrence of social conflict, and here lies the problem of the research. The research assumes a direct relationship between political dynamics and increased societal division, as the exploitation of power by political elites, inflammatory political discourse, and the enactment of unjust laws lead to social division, while their decline contributes to strengthening societal cohesion. In order to identify the research problem and verify its hypothesis, the systems analysis method was used. The research concluded that unbalanced political practices pose a threat to the social fabric and stability. The exploitation of identity divisions by political elites and their promotion of the “us versus them” narrative can lead to violence or even genocide.
