Politics is a process by which decisions are made within groups. Although the term is generally applied to behavior within governments, politics is observed in all human (and many non-human) group interactions, including corporate, academic, and religious institutions.
Political science (also political studies) is the study of political behavior and examines the acquisition and application of power.
Alternate definitions
Alternative definitions of politics have been proposed that fulfill the needs of differing perspectives. They include:
- Dictionary definitions, for example, "the art and science of government" *
- Textbook definitions, notably, a "process of conflict resolution in which support is mobilized and maintained for collective projects". -- An Introduction to Government and Politics ... Dickerson and Flanagan
- Theorists, such as Harold Lasswell, who defined politics as "who gets what, when, where, and how."
- and Practitioners like
- Mao Zedong, who said "Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed."
- and Otto von Bismarck's cryptic remark, "Politics is the art of feasibility."
