The purpose of this paper is to analyze the factors of the political instability in the developing countries. This study is based on the theories of frustraion-aggression and institutioualization. Systemic frustraion is the result of the descrepancy between social expectations and their achievements. In addition, uncertainties of social expectations and the sense of systemic frustation, and conflicting aspirations provide another sourec of systemic frustration. Institutionalization is the process by which organizations and procedures acquire value and stability. The level of institutionalization can be defined by the adaptability, complexity, autonomy, and coherence of its organizations and procedures.
The common circumstances of developing countries in which a develops between aspirations for social, economic, and political goods and its capabilities of obtaining those goods are those in which aspirations increase but its capabilities do not come up with them.
Urbanization, increases in literacy, and media exposure all give rise to enhanced aspirations and expectations. High rates of change in socal mobilization generally have a more significant association with politial instability. As modernization proceeds, more groups become socially mobilized and participant in politics. As a result, the forms of instability become diversfied and also broader in scope. The impact of modernization and the low level of political institutionalization in most modernizing coutries produce a correlatron between social frustration and political instability.
The political instability in the developing countries, which is caused by the gap between the fast growing expectancy and the slow progress of the political instituionalization, has no patent remedy but exercise of patience on the people far-sighted and synthetic policy on the part of the government.
