Recently we have witnessed a number of rapid shifts toward populism in the rhetoric and policies of major political parties, as exemplified in the 2016 Brexit Referendum, 2016 US Election, and 2017 UK General Election. Our perspective here is to focus on understanding the underlying societal processes behind these recent political shifts. We use novel methods to study social dynamics behind the 2016 Presidential election. This is done by using network science methods to identify key groups associated with the US right-wing during the election. We investigate how the groups grew on Twitter, and how their associated accounts changed their following behaviour over time. We find a new external faction of Trump supporters took a strong influence over the traditional Republican Party (GOP) base during the election campaign. The new group dominated the GOP group in terms of new members and endorsement via Twitter follows. Growth of new accounts for the GOP party all but collapsed during the campaign. While the Alt-right group was growing exponentially, it has remained relatively isolated. Counter to the mainstream view, we detected an unexpectedly low number of automated 'bot' accounts and accounts associated with foreign intervention in the Trump-supporting group. Our work demonstrates a powerful method for tracking the evolution of societal groups and reveals complex social processes behind political changes.

It has been found that in the 21st century, political parties play an important role in the political processes of society, forming political power in a representative democracy. Qualitative development of political parties is possible with proper legal support, which allows ruling and opposition political parties to participate in electoral processes on a democratic basis. It is determined that crucial for a proper understanding of the basic principles of political party participation in electoral processes is that they should in no way be seen as a means of imposing excessive restrictions on political parties respecting the right of citizens to hold political office, personally or as political party representatives. It is substantiated that political parties perform an important representative function during their activity. The main task of political parties is to participate in the formation of the political will of the people through the electoral process and the implementation of a certain political course. It is proposed to consider political parties as organizations that have united certain individuals, one of whose goals is to participate in the management of public affairs through the nomination of candidates in free and democratic elections. It was found that in countries where national law does not require the registration of political parties, a political party is still subject to certain requirements for their participation in the electoral process. There is a tendency towards a more liberal approach to the requirements of the functioning of political parties of power to developed classical European democracies. At the same time, the democracies of Central and Eastern Europe are characterized by greater bureaucratization and formalized requirements for state registration and participation of political parties in the electoral process.
Craig Johnson is an Associate Professor in Political Science. His research lies in the field of international development, focusing primarily on the ways in which global demand for land, resources and energy is affecting patterns of poverty, climate vulnerability and environmental sustainability in the Global South. Between 2009 and 2013, he led an international team of researchers looking at the socio-economic and environmental implications of urban land acquisition in India, Bangladesh and Viet Nam. He is now taking forward new work on the global race for alternative energy sources, particularly in the oil and gas sector. Finally, he is editing a book that will be published with Routledge in 2015 about the ways in which cities around the world are now responding to the global climate challenge.

His research connects Canada and New Zealand. Canada and Aotearoa New Zealand are located on opposite sides of the world, yet both countries are grappling with how to forge better relationships between settlers, indigenous peoples, and ethnic communities. How a country is imagined and represented can make a difference. Canada's bilingualism and multiculturalism both symbolically alienate First Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples, whose unique historical and legal status is often ignored. In New Zealand, the dominant narrative is biculturalism – a partnership between indigenous Maori and Paheka (European settlers). Ethnic communities do not easily fit into this image of the nation. His research examines the ways in which imagining community affect how these three groups form alliances or compete with one another for recognition and resources.

Abstract The objective of this study is to highlight the processes of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) assembly elections and to explore the expectations of people regarding these elections. The assembly elections in J&K were held on a regular basis from 1951 when Constituent Assembly of J&K was framed. The people, as well as the communal parties of J&K, actively participated in these elections till the 1990s like the other states of the country. They raised their problems through democratic ways and wanted solutions through these ways. They also expected the solution of J&K problem through Democratic ways. The rigidness of these elections process by incumbent parties and by the Central government not only kept away them from participating in these elections but they also lost faith in the democratic processes. From the 1990s the insurgency started in J&K. The people, as well as communal parties, actively supported it which also resulted in the decrease in people's participation in elections of J&K. Subsequently, from 2002 the elections were considered free and fair by almost all parties, but it could not bring back the communal parties into contesting elections. Nowadays the participation of people gradually increased in assembly elections of the state which is really a good sign for the democratic process in J&K. The study will try to unfold the reasons behind these developments in democratic processes in the state of J&K.

This storyboard examines the 2017 Quebec mayoral elections. Specifically, this storyboard explores rates of incumbent re-election, elections won by acclamation and the impact of political parties on the democratic process. I also use ArcGIS software to provide a visualization of the 2017 mayoral elections in Quebec. Over the course of my analysis, I found that the rates of incumbent re-election and elections won by acclamation were extremely high. However, I also found that these rates are lower in urban centres that have political parties. After examining the role of political parties within municipal elections, I conclude that political parties benefit the democratic process. Political parties help individuals challenge incumbents by providing an organizational structure to engage volunteers, receive donations, and mobilize supporters. Finally, I support this argument by referencing other work done in the field of urban and local governance.

In the modern political process, an important role is played by political actors who really influence the political process. The most active actors in the political process include political leaders, political parties, public organizations, etc., which, depending on the level of maturity of civil society in a particular country, influence political decision-making processes and the implementation of national and local policies. The political regimes of different states stimulate or inhibit the initiative of the subjects of the political process. However, the subjects of the political process are able to change the features of a particular political regime. Political institutions functioning in the political process go through the following eight stages. First, it is important for a political institution to define a goal that allows you to clearly define the goals and directions of its activities, which in turn increases its subjectivity. Second, political institutions must make political predictions to increase the effectiveness of their political activities. Third, the ability to make the right political decisions is important for a political institution. Fourth, in order to achieve their goal, political institutions must carry out political socialization and political mobilization, which increases their subjectivity. Fifth, political institutions implement the planned goals and adjust tactical activities. Sixth, political institutions must monitor the implementation of political decisions. Seventh, political institutions must analyze and summarize their political activities. Eighth, political institutions must define new strategies in their political activities, which allows them to increase their subjectivity.
