Principles of State Structure and Social Organization

Principles by which a state is organized or by which its society and property are ordered. An entry belongs here when its cited source describes a doctrine about how authority is divided among territorial levels, how interest groups are built into governance, or how landholding is redistributed by the state. Federalism shares sovereignty between a central government and constituent units, corporatism organizes society through recognized occupational and interest bodies, and land reform changes who holds agricultural land. The group collects these structural principles rather than the parties or movements that have advocated them.
