Political modernization (also spelled as political modernisation;[3] Chinese: 政治現代化),[4] refers to the process of development and evolution from a lower to a higher level, in which a country's constitutional system and political life moves from superstition of authority, autocracy and the rule of man to rationality, autonomy, democracy and the rule of law.[5] It manifests itself in certain types of political change, like political integration, political differentiation, political secularisation, and so forth.[6] The process of political modernisation has enhanced the capacity of a society's political system, i.e. the effectiveness and efficiency of its performance.[7]

Sustainability studies researcher George Francis argues that 'political modernisation' is the changes in the nation-state brought about by the

globalisation process since the 1970s.[8] It primarily consists of processes of differentiation of political structure and secularisation of political culture
