Systems archetypes are effective in communicating complex behaviour with relatively simple structures, across a wide range of topics. The “power dynamics” between different power holders are critically important in decision making when it comes to formulating and implementing policies. This topic was explored at a four‐day Australasian systems workshop run in New Zealand. A synthesis approach was combined with analytical procedures from system dynamics (SD). Building on Rahn's “Fear and Greed” political archetype, a conceptual “Power and Influence” political archetype was developed. This political archetype shows the impact of public support. It is used to analyse a crowdfunding story in New Zealand. A small SD concept model was subsequently constructed to test this story and evaluate alternative public support scenarios. A library of political archetypes and concept models would be an asset for the field of SD and provide a means of synthesising insights from case studies and social theory.

“权力与影响力”政治原型：公众支持的动力

系统原型可以有效地以相对简单的结构传达广泛主题中的复杂行为。在制定和实施政策时，不同权力所有者之间的“权力动态”对于决策至关重要。在新西兰举办的为期四天的澳大利亚系统研讨会上探讨了这个主题。综合方法与系统动​​力学（SD）的分析程序结合在一起。在拉恩的“恐惧与贪婪”政治原型的基础上，发展了概念上的“权力与影响力”政治原型。这种政治原型显示了公众支持的影响。它用于分析新西兰的众筹故事。随后构建了一个小型SD概念模型来测试该故事并评估其他公共支持方案。
