women suffrage introduced in Western countries by 	WW2 (last in Switzerland); increasingly more 	women accepted in leadership positions & in 	politics; this differ from one country to another…

‘state churches’ in some countries play unifying “ideological” role & receive support from the state; may have political influence (Orthodox Church in Serbia)
church’s influence on society differs from country to country but has generally been declining

in many politically less developed countries, the army has much power and plays important role in power struggles…
