A political regime is a set of political structures that make up a state. These political systems range from direct democracies to totalitarian regimes, such as military dictatorships. Common systems in the modern world include democratic republics, monarchies, and representative democracies.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Pierre Bourdieu (August 1, 1930 â January 23, 2002) was an acclaimed French sociologist and writer known for his outspoken political views and public engagement.
