Dynastic Politics

Dynastic politics refers to a system where political power is passed within a specific family or lineage, often through inheritance or family connections. This phenomenon is common in monarchies and some political regimes, where leadership tends to stay within certain families across generations. It can influence the structure of governance, lead to political stability if the family maintains popular support, but may also limit opportunities for outsiders and promote nepotism. Essentially, it’s a situation where families dominate political roles over time, shaping the country's leadership just like a family business or legacy.
