A parochial political culture is a political culture where citizens have only limited awareness of the existence of central government. [1] Parochial culture leads to the general ignorance about political subjects and a consequent lack of involvement of political activity. It may occur in regions where traditionally-stateless societies are subject to the jurisdiction of a state, their limited awareness of the law contributing to the power dynamics between such communities and their state.

Elite capture is a form of corruption whereby public resources are biased for the benefit of a few individuals of superior social status in detriment to the welfare of the larger population. Elites are groups of individuals who, because of self-ratifying factors such as social class, asset ownership, religious affiliations, political power, historic discrimination among social groups, political party affiliation, or economic position, have decision-making power in processes of public concern. This specific form of corruption occurs when elites use public funds, originally intended to be invested in services that benefit the larger population, to fund projects that would only benefit them. This form of corruption is differentiated from outright criminal corruption such as embezzlement, misappropriation, or other diversion of funds by a public official.
