Political instability
A major issue in global politics is political instability, because it can lead to polity paralysis and collapse; when a state collapses local political instability can lead to global instability.
Group grievances in a society may intensify to a level where the societal norms become undermined by activities such as riots, palace revolutions, widespread pillaging, and general turmoil in the social order. Political instability is experienced through disorder, political or social. Note that social disorder entails economic disorder, and that long-term political disorder may generate into cultural disorder, where even the most basic norm of human cohabitation comes under pressure and enemy construction runs rampant like under state collapse. According to the theory of political order, political instability derives from insufficient state capacities due to weak sovereignty and lack of political institutionalization; when the political form, for instance a state, is unable to mend the political condition, it deteriorates while polity experiences group grievances expressed through the political or social order. To avoid political instability: A rule of thumb is for government to provide individuals and groups in society with mobility opportunities, by invoking structures that gives people a perspective on the future, so that they may imagine that it will all be worthwhile (see Huntington’s equation)!
