Key Points

  • David Easton, System theory conceptual framework evolved in three phases.
  • Political System (1953), represents the first phase.
  • A Framework of Political Analysis and A Analysis of Political Life, both published in 1965, constitute the second and third phases, respectively.
  • Easton’s input consists of demands and support. 
  • The demands can be excessive in quantity, political system does not allow all the demands to enter the system.
    • Regulation of behaviour- public safety, control over market etc. 
    • Participation in the political system – right to vote, form political associations.
    • For allocation of goods and services such as wages and working conditions, education, health  etc
    • Communication and information regarding policies of the government.

Thus, David Easton had identified four kinds of inputs in terms of demands which are Regulation of behaviour, Participation in the political system, Allocation of goods and services, Communication and information.

  •  According to Easton, a political system is a social interaction in which authoritative and binding value allocations are created and implemented.
  • He focused on intra-system behaviour using the political system as a unit of analysis.
