| | Government - Encyclopedia of Political Information |
| | A government in a developed state is likely to have various sub-organisations known as offices, departments, or agencies, which are headed by politically appointed officials, often called ministers or secretaries. | | | The modern standard unit of territory comprises a state. | | | Typical methods of maintaining support include infrastructure providing justice, administration and social welfare, claiming support of deities, providing benefits to influential groups, holding elections for important posts within the state, limiting the power of the state through laws and constitutions and appealing to nationalism. |

| | Given that in Oaxaca the PRI nominee is designated unilaterally by the governor, the political “autonomy” of the head of the supreme court might be questioned by reasonable and dispassionate observers. | | | He is closely allied to the national faction led by Roberto Madrazo, ex-governor of the State of Tabasco, current president of the PRI, and leader of the “dinosaurio” wing of the party. | | | While in the old days “success” usually meant administering the state in a manner pleasing to the president, in the current situation it means becoming politically useful to the factional leadership to which the governor is allied. |
