Morphology
The meaning 'a shift in political structures, policies, or leaders' is directly and compositionally derived from 'political' (relating to public affairs) modifying 'change' (an act or state of becoming different). This is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common adjectival + noun combination that a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand.
Etymology
Political change gives a clear picture: political means the people and rules that run a country, and change means swapping them or making them different. So it means 'a shift in who governs or in the country's rules', like new leaders or new laws.
