1. ↑ public administration. Public administration is the management of the state through legislative, regulatory and service-orientated agencies. Originating in the late 18th century in France, it has evolved through various models in Europe and globally, including Nordic, Anglo-Saxon, Rhenish/Continental and Mediterranean approaches. Each model varies in the status of civil servants, political interference and employment systems. In Brazil, public administration has progressed through three distinct phases: patrimonial, bureaucratic and managerial, moving from nepotism towards efficiency and professionalisation. Key components include tax administration, regulatory agencies and direct and indirect administrative structures. These systems are responsible for implementing public policies, regulating economic activities and providing essential services. Regulatory agencies play a crucial role in overseeing public service concessions and permits, ensuring accountability and effectiveness in governance, while maintaining a balance between state control and operational autonomy.

2. ↑ regulations. Regulations are normative acts issued by the executive branch, characterised by abstraction, generality and imperativeness. They serve to detail higher normative acts and are mainly limited by constitutional and legal frameworks. Classifications include regulatory, delegated, autonomous and independent types, ranging in scope from internal administrative effects to external general effects. They can be spontaneous or provoked, and cover various levels of governmental competence, including federal, state, municipal and territorial. Autonomous regulations directly explain the Constitution and constitute primary normative acts, while independent regulations also interpret constitutional provisions. The principle of legality prevails in contemporary constitutional systems, ensuring that regulations operate within defined legal limits. Academic work by authors such as Francisco, Leal and Velloso has contributed to understanding the complex nature and function of regulatory mechanisms.

3. ↑ globalização. A globalização representa um processo histórico complexo de crescente interconexão através dos domínios económico, cultural e comunicacional. Emergindo das primeiras rotas comerciais como a Rota da Seda, acelerou através de avanços tecnológicos em transporte e comunicação. O período pós-Segunda Guerra Mundial viu uma expansão significativa através de instituições internacionais, blocos económicos e corporações multinacionais. Os principais impactos incluem a troca global de informações através de tecnologias de internet, facilitação do comércio transfronteiriço e hibridização cultural. Embora permita uma conectividade e oportunidades económicas sem precedentes, a globalização levanta simultaneamente desafios críticos em torno da homogeneização cultural, sustentabilidade ambiental e desigualdade económica. O fenómeno transformou a forma como bens, serviços, ideias e pessoas se movem através de fronteiras nacionais, criando possibilidades integrativas e potenciais tensões sociais. A sua natureza multifacetada continua a provocar debates académicos e políticos sobre as suas implicações societais de longo prazo.

4. ↑ politics. Politics is a multifaceted field that explores governance, power dynamics and social organisation. Originating from the ancient Greek term "politeia", it examines the structures and processes of state management. Political power is characterised by its ability to influence social outcomes through mechanisms of legitimacy, centralisation and coercion. Various political systems, from democracies to monarchies, operate through complex institutions such as legislatures, executives and judiciaries. Different ideological perspectives - including liberalism, conservatism and socialism - shape the understanding of state functions, individual rights and social relations. International politics further expands this domain, analysing global interactions, diplomatic relations and transnational governance. Theories of political change, power distribution and institutional structures provide critical insights into how societies organise, govern and transform themselves through political processes and philosophical debates.

5. ↑ system. A system is a complex arrangement of interconnected components working towards a common goal. Characterised by functional integration and synergy, systems can be physical or conceptual, ranging from biological organisms to organisational structures. Biological systems follow a hierarchical organisation from atomic to cosmic levels, while information systems in computer science focus on algorithmic processes. Systems interact dynamically with their environment through inputs and outputs, maintaining homeostasis through continuous communication between elements. Different types of systems exist across disciplines, including human biological systems such as digestive and nervous systems, and social systems such as economic and legal structures. The core principle underlying all systems is the interdependence of the components, where changes in one part can significantly influence the functionality and performance of the entire system.

6. ↑ State ( State ) A state is a sovereign entity with defined territorial limits, a population and autonomous governance. Originating from the Latin word "status", it emerged from the decline of feudalism and was formally recognised in the Peace of Westphalia of 1648. States exercise sovereign authority through institutions that make and enforce laws, manage economic affairs and provide public services. They can be structured as unitary or federal systems, monarchies or republics, each with distinct organisational characteristics. The main functions include maintaining security, collecting taxes, providing public goods and representing national interests internationally. The concept of the state has been significantly influenced by political philosophers such as Hobbes and Locke and shaped by historical events such as the French Revolution. Its evolution continues in response to global challenges and changing socio-political dynamics.
