In the study of comparative politics, several theorists are closely associated with the structural-functional approach. This approach, which emphasizes the functions that social and political structures perform to maintain stability and continuity in a political system, was influential in the mid-20th century. Key theorists include:

Gabriel Almond
Almond was one of the pioneers of the structural-functional approach in comparative politics. He, along with Sidney Verba, developed a framework to analyze political systems based on their functions and structures. Almond's concept of political systems identified functions like political socialization, recruitment, interest articulation, and interest aggregation, which are essential for the stability of a political system.
Sidney Verba
Verba collaborated with Gabriel Almond in "The Civic Culture" (1963), applying the structural-functional approach to understand the role of political culture in maintaining democratic systems. They examined how political attitudes and cultural norms contribute to political stability.
David Easton
While Easton’s "systems theory" shares similarities with structural-functionalism, his emphasis on the political system's input-output model overlaps significantly with the approach. He focused on how political systems manage demands and supports, adapt to change, and maintain equilibrium.
Talcott Parsons
Though not directly in comparative politics, Parsons’ work heavily influenced the structural-functional approach. His general sociological theory, focusing on social systems and their necessary functions, shaped how political scientists like Almond and others conceptualized political systems.
Lucian Pye
Pye applied the structural-functional approach to analyze political development, especially in non-Western countries. He explored how political structures (like political parties and interest groups) contributed to modernization and nation-building in newly independent states.

These scholars contributed significantly to the development of the structural-functional approach, especially during the 1950s and 1960s, to understand political systems, their stability, and their performance comparatively.

What does lead the system to Political Development?

Ans: The international environment, the domestic society, the political elites within the political system itself. Situations in the international sphere like wars or aggressions bring conditions of change in the political system. Besides, events taking place within the system may also have the same effect.

Development results when the existing structure and culture of the political system are unable "to cope with the problem or challenge which confronts it without further structural differentiation and cultural secularisation." If so, the following challenges that may lead to political development:

David M. Wood outlined several challenges related to political development, which can be summarized as follows:

Problem of State-Building:
- Arises when domestic or international threats endanger the state’s survival.
- Events like wars, external aggression, or shifts in elite goals can create such threats.
- State-building involves creating structures and organizations to regulate society, extract resources, and build a central bureaucracy that fosters obedience and compliance.
Problem of Nation-Building:
- Involves shifting people's loyalty from local or tribal units to a larger central system.
- While state-building might succeed, nation-building can lag, posing risks to political stability.
Problem of Participation:
- Various groups in society push for a role in decision-making.
- This leads to the creation of political parties, factions, and groups, expanding demands for inclusion and influencing decisions.
Problem of Distribution:
- Concerns how national income and opportunities are shared.
- Ensures that distribution is fair and merit-based, without discrimination based on religion, caste, or other factors.
- Related to welfare policies aiming for the common good and equal opportunities for all.

Almond and Powell not only look towards the problems of political development from their structural-functional approach, they also hint at five major factors that must be considered in such an analysis. They are:

(i) Nature of the Problems Confronting a Political System

(ii) Resources of the System

(iii) Effect of Foreign Social Systems
