Governmental Politics Model
/ˈɡʌvərnməntəl ˈpɑlɪtɪks ˈmɒdəl/
Key Insights
The governmental politics model posits that separation of power does not lead to a division of power. Rather, multiple actors with different agendas have to share power. This means that contrary to the rational actor model, states are not unitary actors. Rather, the governmental politics model believes that the action of states is the result of the bargaining process between players with different agendas.
