POLITICS
Politics is, in general, the process by which individuals or small
groups attempt to exert influence over the actions of an organization.
It is the process by which groups of people make decisions. Although the term is most commonly applied to behaviour within
civil governments,
politics is observed in many human (and many non-human) group interactions,
including corporate, academic, and religious institutions. Key issues
addressed include: Authority: the right to enforce laws, to exact
obedience, to command, to determine, or to judge; Justice:
the equitable distribution of things and
social positions within a society; Legitimacy: an
attribute of government gained through the acquisition and application
of power in accordance with recognized or accepted standards or
principles; Political Economy: the process by which
property rights are defined and access to capital is
regulated; Political Sociology: the study of power and the
intersection of personality, social structure and politics;
Power: the ability to impose one's will upon another;
Sovereignty: the ability of a government to exert
control over its territory free from outside influence.
Political Science is a branch of social science that deals with
the theory and practice of politics and the description and analysis
of political systems and political behavior. Its paramount
goal is to discover a healthy balance between the individual, the
society and Government.
Political Philosophy or Political Theory is, in
general, concerned with the study of fundamental questions about
the state, government, politics, liberty, property, rights, and
the law: what they are, why they are needed, what makes a
government legitimate, what rights and freedoms it should
protect and why, what form it should take and why, what the law
is, and what duties citizens owe to a legitimate government, if
any, and when it may be legitimately overthrown - if ever.
