Civil unrest refers to public disorder or unrest caused by perceived social or economic injustices. It directly relates to political change as such unrest often emerges from dissatisfaction with the status quo, prompting demands for reform or revolution. When groups mobilize, they can influence political agendas, lead to the fall of regimes, or foster the rise of new political movements. Social movements facilitated by civil unrest can reshape laws, policies, and governance, thereby altering the political landscape significantly.
