Politics refers to the activities, actions, and policies used to gain and hold power in a government or to influence the government. It encompasses the processes by which groups of people make collective decisions, typically in a governance context. This term includes the negotiation, debate, and conflict that arise from differing interests, values, and priorities within a society. Politics can occur at various levels, including local, national, and international arenas, and involves various actors, including politicians, political parties, interest groups, and citizens. The study of politics examines the distribution of power, the role of institutions, political behavior, ideologies, and the impact of policies on society. It is both a practical activity—related to the governance of communities and nations—and an academic discipline that seeks to understand political systems, behavior, and theory.
