Tides of Power: What Drives Political Change

Tides of Power explores how political power rises, shifts, and recedes over time, shaped by public will, institutions, conflict, and historical forces. This book examines power as fluid rather than fixed—constantly influenced by social change, leadership decisions, and global events.
Written for students, policy readers, and those interested in governance, the book focuses on understanding why dominance changes hands and how authority adapts during periods of stability and upheaval. It highlights patterns of power across governments, regions, and eras.
Key areas covered include:
• Cycles of political power and influence
• Rise and decline of political authority
• Role of institutions, movements, and crises
• Power transitions within and between states
• Long-term consequences of shifting power
Tides of Power offers a clear perspective on why no political order remains permanent—and how change reshapes governance.
Power never stands still.
Like tides, it moves—reshaping everything in its path.
