Political Barriers

Obstacles or difficulties which groups of citizens, their political representatives, political parties or countries interpose to each other in order to hinder the actions of certain of their opponents, such as:

• the prevention of a political minority group to achieving their aspirations in the parliament by the politically dominant voting majority, in the legislative procedure;
• the ideological repression, persecution and imprisonment for political reasons;
• the blocking of the international political and economic influence of a country by a multilateral treaty or alliance between countries opposed to such influence.
