Political continuity refers to the maintenance or preservation of a political system over time, often through the consistent application of policies, institutions, and leadership. This research area seeks to understand the factors that contribute to the stability and longevity of political regimes, including the role of political institutions, social networks, and historical legacies. Scholars in this field may examine the impact of leadership transitions, regime changes, and external influences on political continuity, as well as the potential consequences of interruptions in continuity for governance, democracy, and overall stability.
