Politics

Politics refers to the process and activities associated with the governance of a country or area, particularly the debate among individuals or parties having or hoping to achieve power. It encompasses the creation and implementation of policies, the organization of governments, the relationship between citizens and their leaders, and the various ideologies and movements that shape the social order. Politics can occur at different levels, including local, national, and international contexts. It involves the negotiation and conflict of interests, public decision-making, the exercise of authority, and the structuring of power relationships among individuals and groups. Political systems can range from democracies to autocracies, and political actions can include voting, campaigning, and lobbying. The study of politics is fundamental to understanding how societies operate and how public resources are distributed and managed.
