Politics

Politics refers to the activities, actions, and policies used to gain and hold power in a government or to influence the governance of a society. It involves the study of political systems, theories, behaviors, and ideologies that shape the organization and exercise of power. Politics encompasses the interactions between individuals or groups in decision-making processes, the establishment of laws, and the distribution of resources. It can occur at various levels, including local, regional, national, and international contexts. The field of politics also examines how authority is established and maintained, the role of political institutions such as legislatures, executives, and judiciaries, and the impact of social movements, public opinion, and political parties on governance and policy-making.
