Political crisis and conflict

A political crisis is a disorder of the political system, accompanied by a violation of its normal functioning, which involves the refusal of a significant part of citizens to support the management organization. The population expresses distrust of the executive power and the ruling party, is displeased with the policies implemented in the country. This leads to the fact that the system under such conditions can not successfully perform its functions.

A political crisis can arise between countries or within a single state, when it is impossible to coordinate actions between political forces. Foreign political crises are developing because of international contradictions. Internal (parliamentary, governmental, constitutional and other) are the result of the divergence of political interests between different social forces within the country.

Government crisis is the most common phenomenon when the government loses its authority, which leads to the failure of its orders to be executed by the executive bodies. It can be accompanied by a change of leaders or forms of government. The parliamentary crisis manifests itself in a change in the balance of power in the legislative bodies, when the actions of the parliament differ from those of the majority of the country's citizens. As a result, the existing legislative body is dissolved and new elections are held. The constitutional crisis is connected with the termination of the operation of the Basic Law, when it loses its legitimacy and there is a need to revise it.

Political conflicts and crises have common features. The political conflict is only a form of expressing the crisis, which consists in openly speaking the masses against the existing organization of the central government. Conflict can grow into an uprising, a revolution, go into reaction and counter-revolution.

At the heart of crises and conflicts are social contradictions. They are born when society (its opposing forces) does not see other ways to realize its own interests, except for entering into an open struggle in order to eliminate these contradictions.

However, an open conflict (conflict) is not always the only and best form of resolution of contradictions, which lead to a situation when a stable political crisis begins to develop. Sometimes the evolutionary path is more promising, especially if we take into account the high price of the conflict and the revolutionary means used in resolving the contradictions. In this case, accumulated discrepancies deliberately disaggregate and fall from the height of the level of society to the level of individual people.

Today, protracted interracial and interethnic conflicts exist in Canada, the United States, Britain, countries of the former Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, Yugoslavia, the USSR.

In Russia, the political crisis that has developed in recent years has become permanently irreversible. This does not mean that the country will soon "take to the streets". The crisis is more likely to be expressed in the growing fatigue of political leaders and the power elite in power.

Already in May 2011, experts predicted a fall in the ratings of the tandem and that the authorities would be unable to hold positions without using administrative resources. This means that the trust of the population of power has decreased so much that there is a threat of complete loss of political control over the country. Dissatisfaction is increasing not only in the middle class (as it was before), but in almost all social strata.

The country "comes out of the left bank," which indicates the folding of the prerequisites for the formation of a new center-right majority party.
