Chapter 4. Phenomena of Nation and Power Until Chapter 3, I explained the fundamental laws underlying political phenomena. From Chapter 4 onwards, I will apply these laws to understand practical political situations and explain how I can utilize them to solve political problems within them. A. Creation & Extinction of Political Organizations (1) Conditions for the Birth & Death of P. Organizatio..

㉠ Efficiency of Cooperative Relationships Firstly, the starting point of the concentration of power is the efficiency of cooperative relationships. If there is no coordination of opinions among political actors, the political organization will fail, and this often happens when power is not concentrated. Originally, it is always difficult to coordinate opinions among people. This is shown extreme..

b. Concentration of Power and its Cause Despite political power being a product of cooperation and cohesion[Ch.2.8], concentration of power generally occurs in all political regimes. Concentration of power means that power is concentrated in a minority of individuals. [Ch.3.405] Generally, power is concentrated in a few people. Especially, as the size (number of people) of an organization increa..

(2) Combination of the 2nd and 1st Laws The PKB case implies that people cooperate in the face of common threats such as predators or hunger, which is intrinsically related to the content of the 2nd law. Although the 2nd law, summarized in [Tab.3.21], may seem very simple, it can explain many complex political phenomena in a comprehensive way when combined with the 1st law. As you have seen in t..

㉢ Realm of Canonical Politics Assuming the characteristics of Samjae capacities and their multi-layered interaction discussed earlier, one can understand the power relations in almost all phenomena of political activity, ranging from macro-level political phenomena to micro-level ones, and from extremely violent to highly organized and debated political phenomena, based on a consistent and simpl..

㉡ Canonical Process of Political Development To understand the relationship between political situations and available capacity in detail, you must first understand how political situations change specifically over time. The political situation() can also be seen as changing according to the human survival threats, and in this regard, the concept of the three threats to survival[Ch.1.2] can be h..

b. Canonical Process of Political Development ㉠ Interaction between Political Capacity and Situation If someone wants to gain political power, they must enhance their political capacity and use it appropriately in the situation. In the basic example, when there is a threat from a beast, Peter, who has strong armed capacity, gains power, while Kevin and Ben gain power when there is hunger or dire..

D. Iteration and Combination of the 1‧2‧3 Law (1) Expansion and Iterated Application of the 1st Law a. Samjae Capacities and Multi-Layer Structure The multi-layer structure of capacity arises from the interaction structure of Samjae capacities, and this multi-layer structure can be analyzed more deeply through the combination of more multi-layer structures[Ch.2.22]. As already emphasized, adding..
