It encompasses the activities associated with the distribution and exercise of power, authority, and governance in a society. Politics involves the negotiation and conflict between different interests, ideologies, and groups, aiming to establish rules, policies, and practices that affect the public and the state. It includes the study of political systems, behaviors, institutions, and the relationships between individuals and their governments. Additionally, politics can be seen at various levels, from local communities to international relations, and can involve both formal institutions like legislatures and informal networks of influence. The term also reflects the broader spectrum of human interaction and conflict resolution in pursuit of social order and equity.
