Politics

Politics refers to the process of making decisions that apply to members of a group, often within the context of governance and leadership. It encompasses the activities associated with the governance of a country or area, including the formulation and execution of policies, the allocation of resources, and the regulation of social behavior. Politics involves the negotiation, conflict, and cooperation among individuals and groups who hold different interests and power. Political systems and structures, such as governments, institutions, and parties, are integral to how political processes are organized and enacted. In a broader sense, politics can extend to interactions and power dynamics within any organized group, not limited to governmental contexts. Thus, politics shapes the collective life of societies, influencing how communities are organized and how individuals relate to one another within various frameworks of authority and regulation.
