Literary notes about coalition (AI summary)
In literature, the term "coalition" is employed to evoke the idea of disparate forces coming together to achieve a common purpose, whether in the realm of politics, warfare, or even abstract concepts. It appears in political narratives describing the formation of government ministries that unite multiple parties to govern ([1], [2], [3]) as well as in historical accounts depicting military alliances forged in response to external threats ([4], [5], [6]). Authors also extend its use metaphorically, suggesting a union of various sentiments or principles that, when combined, produce effects greater than the sum of their parts ([7], [8], [9]). This versatility in usage underscores the dynamic interplay between unity and conflict in both concrete and symbolic contexts.
