THE ROLE AND IMPORTANCE OF A POLITICAL LEADER IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIETY

Abstract

In modern political science, the problem of studying the influence of a political leader on the formation of a country’s foreign policy is becoming increasingly relevant. The role of the leader of the state in the process of making foreign policy decisions is great, but the influence of the leader is determined by the presence of various factors that increase or, conversely, eliminate his power. As a result, the interest of researchers in studying this problem is understandable. The implementation of research tasks was achieved based on consideration of theoretical approaches to the analysis of political leadership, the use of systemic analysis of theory, and historical, political science approaches. The essence of political leadership, and political activity is considered, and an analysis of factors influencing the foreign policy pursued by the leader is carried out.
