Ideologies Of Government: An Introduction

Abstract

This paper examines the ideologies of government. Descriptive in nature, this essay highlights the importance and relevance of an ideology in the life of an individual or country, and x-rays some of the ideological outfits which have been developed to guide different modes of social organization. The essay contends that a leadership that is guided by a well-articulated and people – friendly ideology would certainly regard the promotion of the welfare of the masses and the transformation of the society as its major priorities. The interests of the people and the development of the society tend to be neglected when the rulers subscribe to self-serving and predatory ideological worldviews.
