= Fifth power (politics)
{wiki=Fifth_power_(politics)}
The term "fifth power" in the context of politics often refers to a theoretical or emerging force in the political landscape that complements the traditional four powers: the executive, legislative, judicial, and media branches. This concept is sometimes used to describe the influence of non-state actors, civil society, grassroots movements, or online platforms and social media that can shape public opinion and policy outside of the conventional power structures.
