Political instability in developing nations can stem from numerous factors, including economic inequality, corruption, and inadequate political institutions. Rapid changes, such as democratization or the lack of capable leadership, can further exacerbate tensions. Additionally, external influences, such as colonial legacies and international intervention, complicate governance structures. Ethnic conflicts and social unrest often arise from long-standing grievances, undermining national cohesion. Addressing these challenges requires a multifaceted approach that emphasizes development, inclusivity, and institutional strengthening.
