dynastic politics
Dynastic politics refers to a political system where power is concentrated within a single family or lineage over multiple generations. This often occurs when family members inherit political positions, leading to a continuation of influence and authority within the same household. Examples can be seen in various countries, where political families dominate leadership roles, shaping policies and governance.
In many cases, dynastic politics can lead to a lack of political diversity and competition, as established families may have significant advantages, such as name recognition and access to resources. This phenomenon is evident in countries like India, where families like the Gandhis have played prominent roles in politics, or in the United States, where the Bush and Clinton families have held significant political power.
