A plain-language glossary for the words that shape public life.
Political Systems & Ideologies
Government structures and political philosophies that shape how power is distributed, who makes decisions, and how authority is justified. These terms are often used loosely. This section pins down their actual meanings and explains how they function in practice.
Remigration
Remigration refers to returning to one’s country of origin after living abroad, either voluntarily or involuntarily. It can involve personal choice, government-supported return programs, or removal decisions.
