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 community or organization. It encompasses the processes by which groups of people make collective decisions, often involving negotiation, conflict, and collaboration among various stakeholders. Politics can occur at multiple levels, including local, national, and international contexts. It affects how societal resources are allocated, how laws are enacted and enforced, and how individuals interact within their communities. Political systems vary widely across the world, including democracies, autocracies, and oligarchies, each with distinct methods of governance and representation. The study of politics involves understanding political behavior, institutions, theories, ideologies, and the implications of political actions on society.
