what causes government instability

Sagot :

I think the prime reason why a government would be unstable is when the government's actions and powers do not match with the needs of the populace. Those needs can be many different things and can be different things at different times: food, shelter, infrastructure, protection from bad neighbors, protection from invaders... the list would take me a day and a half.

If you look back at the collapse of the USSR, there was a misalignment between the people's needs and what the government gave. If you look at the current USA, the least stable places are where government is deliberately creating friction with the citizens, and close to that are the places where government is not creating a good framework for people's needs to be met.

Corruption can be a symptom of this mismatch, but in and of itself is not the prime reason for instability. Go look at various nation-states throughout history. The unstable governments were and are the ones where a large segment of people felt the government wasn't doing anything to help them with their needs.

Answer:

The most common causes of instability in the government are:  

1.  Conflict between the rival parties

2.  Mass unemployment

3.  When the rights and the freedom of the people are not respected.

4.  Corruption and mismanagement of wealth by its leaders

5.  Political instability occurs when the elections are not free and fair

6.  When there is insufficient resources and the proximity to other nations

7.  When there is a change in the form of the government --this is the most drastic cause because a "reformed"  government is often replacing a government which there is an encouraged foreign businesses, and also if their is a high rise in feelings for nationalism.  The people may pressure the government or the party in control to negatively influence the extent of trade with foreign countries.  For example:  "Buy American".  Govern instability affects marketing because of the risks which are inherit in foreign marketing

8.  Much of it can be lost if a company invests money in a plant and/ or in an operation with a foreign country and is later subjected to restrictions, controls, or expropriation by the present or new government.
