This study guide covers political stability, its factors (strong institutions, good governance, social cohesion, economic development, international relations), and how internal factors like corruption, internal conflicts, and protest movements impact it. It examines these factors in six countries: UK, Nigeria, Mexico, China, Russia, and Iran, comparing authoritarian and democratic responses. It also reviews key Unit 1 concepts such as correlation, causation, empirical and normative data, regime types, federal and unitary systems, authority, and legitimacy.
