Political Analysis

Political Analysis

Political analysis is the method by which the judgement upon any

political event, in any part of the world, is performed. It is based

on the perception of the political reality of the region or the

country in question and the perception of the relationship of this

political reality with international politics. In order to perceive

the international situation and international politics, it is

imperative to have general outlines that explain the political reality

of every state and the relationships of these states with the other

states of the world, especially the major powers that influence the

progress of events in the world. Since the Islamic Ummah is commanded

to carry the Islamic Da'wah to all people, it is therefore obligatory

upon the Muslims to be in touch with the world with awareness of its

conditions and perception of its problems. The Muslims must acquaint

themselves with what motivates the states and the peoples and pursue

the political actions that occur in the world. They must observe the

political plans of the various states through the styles by which they

execute these plans and the political manoeuvres they undertake, in

order to adopt the practical style to establish their state and carry

their Da'wah to the world. Therefore, it is imperative for them to

acquaint themselves thoroughly with the international situation and

the details related to the international situation, and recognise the

stance of the states of the world which have a telling effect in the

general international situation.

If we were to review the international situation in the wake of the

First World War, we would deduce that...

a free rein to discipline China, who started to rival Russia over the

leadership of the Communist camp. Hence, the two camps have

disappeared and there are no international camps in the world at the

moment. The international situation has radically changed since the

First World War and up until now i.e. it became isolated states, each

one aiming to gain the spoils and weakening other states. Two

superpowers, America and Russia, now control the international

situation. A politician must have information about this international

situation and pursue it constantly so that matters become clear to him

and so that through the political analysis he is able to give his

opinion on every political event, thus his judgement becomes closer to

soundness and realism.
