regional politics
Area-based power struggles
Regional politics refers to political activity, competition, and governance at the subnational level—states, provinces, counties, or other geographic divisions within a country.
The term encompasses local power struggles, elections, and policy debates that affect a particular area: Regional politics in the South shaped national debates on civil rights.
It can also describe geopolitical dynamics between neighboring countries in a geographic area: Middle East regional politics.
