Politics

Politics is the process by which groups of people make collective decisions. It involves the study of governance, the distribution of power, and the creation and enforcement of laws and policies. Politics encompasses a range of activities, including the negotiation of power dynamics, the formation of alliances, and the competition for influence. It can be conducted within formal structures, such as governments, political parties, and institutions, as well as informally in social movements and community organizations. The term also refers to the philosophical and theoretical aspects of governance, including ideologies and political theories that shape the behavior of individuals and societies. Politics is inherently linked to issues of authority, rights, representation, and justice, influencing both domestic and international relations.
