Political science is the scientific study of politics. It is a social science dealing with systems of governance and power,and the analysis of political activities,political thought,political behavior,and associated constitutions and laws.
Regulation is the management of complex systems according to a set of rules and trends. In systems theory,these types of rules exist in various fields of biology and society,but the term has slightly different meanings according to context. For example:
Accountability,in terms of ethics and governance,is equated with answerability,culpability,liability,and the expectation of account-giving.
In politics,a regime is the form of government or the set of rules,cultural or social norms,etc.,that regulate the operation of a government or institution and its interactions with society. The two broad categories of regimes that appear in most literature are democratic and autocratic. However,autocratic regimes can be broken down into a subset of many different types. The key similarity between all regimes are the presence of rulers,and either formal or informal institutions.
Governance is the process of making and enforcing decisions within an organization or society. It encompasses decision-making,rule-setting,and enforcement mechanisms to guide the functioning of an organization or society. Effective governance is essential for maintaining order,achieving objectives,and addressing the needs of the community or members within the organization. Furthermore,effective governance promotes transparency,fosters trust among stakeholders,and adapts to changing circumstances,ensuring the organization or society remains responsive and resilient in achieving its goals. It is the process of interactions through the laws,social norms,power or language as structured in communication of an organized society over a social system. It is done by the government of a state,by a market,or by a network. It is the process of choosing the right course among the actors involved in a collective problem that leads to the creation,reinforcement,or reproduction of acceptable conduct and social order". In lay terms,it could be described as the processes that exist in and between formal institutions.
Election monitoring involves the observation of an election by one or more independent parties,typically from another country or from a non-governmental organization (NGO). The monitoring parties aim primarily to assess the conduct of an election process on the basis of national legislation and of international election standards. There are national and international election observers. Monitors do not directly prevent electoral fraud,but rather record and report instances of suspicious practices. Election observation increasingly looks at the entire electoral process over a long period of time,rather than at election-day proceedings only. The legitimacy of an election can be affected by the criticism of monitors,unless they are themselves seen as biased. A notable individual is often appointed honorary leader of a monitoring organization in an effort to enhance legitimacy of the monitoring process.

Liberal internationalism is a foreign policy doctrine that supports international institutions,open markets,cooperative security and liberal democracy.

Commonwealth of the Independent States - Election Monitoring Organization (CIS-EMO) —is an international non-governmental organization founded by the Commonwealth of Independent States. CIS-EMO conducts election observation missions and prepares reports,which sometimes conflict with the findings of Western election monitoring organizations. It was founded in 2003 in Nizhny Novgorod,Russia and was led by Aleksey Kochetkov. As an NGO,it is different from other observers sent by the CIS. CIS-EMO "tried to legitimise practices of electoral authoritarianism and always remained loyal to the objectives of Russia’s foreign policy in the post-Soviet space".
