Morphology

sociopolitical = political (transparent) = socio + political

The productive combining form 'socio-' combines with the adjective 'political' to form an adjective relating to both social and political aspects.

Etymology

The word sociopolitical combines socio- ('about society' or 'people') and political ('about government' or 'public life'), so it describes issues that involve both social and political factors.
