Political systems and government policy

2.1 Political systems

A political system is:

 a set of institutions, political organisations and interest groups
(such as lobby groups); and

 the relationship between them; and

 the rules and norms that govern their functions (such as
constitutions and election law).

There are three levels of political systems that organisations have to take account
of:

Global – such as the World Trade Organisation (WTO)

National – national government policy (see below)

Local – local government departments, councils
