Band Societies Least complex form of political
arrangement. Characterized by small, nomadic
populations of food collectors. Most bands number between 30 and 50
people.

Band Societies Little concept of individual property
ownership with a high value on sharing, cooperation, and reciprocity.
Little role specialization and highly egalitarian.
Thought to be the oldest form of political organization.

Characteristics of Band Societies There is a high value placed on “getting along”
with one another. Bands are independent of one another and are
not part of a larger political structure. Political decisions are often embedded in the
wider social structure. Leadership roles in band societies tend to be
informal.

Tribal Societies Found most often among food producers. Tend to have populations that are larger,
denser, and somewhat more sedentary. Leadership is informal and not vested in a
centralized authority.

Chiefdoms Political authority is likely to reside with a single
individual, acting alone or in conjunction with an advisory council.
Integrate a number of local communities in a formal and permanent way.
Made up of local communities that differ from one another in terms of rank and status.
Chiefships are hereditary, and the chief and immediate kin are a social and political elite.

State Systems Most formal and complex form of
political organization. Authority of the state rests on two
important foundations.1. The state holds exclusive right to use
force and physical coercion.2. The state maintains authority by
means of ideology.
