The Meaning of Politics

In every aspect of man’s life, there is always a conflict and disagreement. They disagree about
distribution of powers and resources as well as how to resolve such disagreement. Questions
such as “Why is there war?” “What are the necessary and sufficient conditions of poverty? How
do we account for intolerance? How do we avoid ecological catastrophes? Broad agreement
that is advantageous to avoid devastating wars, enhance prosperity, protects human rights and
guard against environmental disasters. This is where politics comes in.
Politics is the study of “who gets what, when and how” as Harold Laswell states. Who gets
power, authority, and leadership? When they are able to get such and how they able to get it?
This is linked to the idea of politics is “the master science” as called by Aristotle (Roskin,
et.al.,2012). He further elaborated that politics is present in all our daily dealings in the Polis
(the Greek city-state). This leads to the concept that Politics indeed could also viewed as social
activity—there is always an interaction between and among the members of the society to re-
solve disagreement and conflicts to attain common solutions. Also, the politics is said to be a
natural outgrowth of human development having capable of reasoning that named man as a
political animal (Dooley et,al.,2013)
Politics is the exercise of power, the science of government ,the making of collective decisions,
the allocations of scars resources and the practice of deception and manipulation. Moreover,
Politics is consist of people acting politically, by organizing political interest groups and trying to
induce governments to act in ways that will promote their interests over those opponents. To
further understand politics, it must start by knowing something about how people acquire their
political beliefs, values, and notions how they act and should act politically. Politics could also
be viewed as “ the process of making government policies”. Thus, it comes to the study of polit-
ical science. The development of political science as a discipline could be traced from the time
of Aristotle when he wrote the first systematic work focused on political affairs known as Poli-
tics that named him as Father of Political Science. The Father of Modern Political Science, Nic-
colò Machiavelli, wrote “The Prince” a handbook for rulers in the art of government. Thus, in
contemporary time Prof. Francis Lieber also wrote “ Manual of Political Ethics”, the first system-
atic treatise on political science that gives as a well thorough understanding of the discipline. In
the Philippines, Department of Political Science was established in the College of Liberal Arts
in 1915, University of the Philippines. Teodoro M. Kalaw is the first Filipino student of politics
and defined political science in his Manual Ciancia Politica in 1918 as, “the nature and organi-
zation of the State, the structure, and functions of the high branches of government, and the
theory of political and civil liberties (Agpalo, 1998).

Characteristics of Politics (Shievely,2013)

1. Politics always involves the making of collective decisions for group of people;
2. Those decisions are made by some members of the group exercising power over other
members of the group.

The Meaning of Governance
The concept of “governance” is as old as human civilization. Governance was defined as “the
process of decision-making and the process by which decisions are implemented (or not im-
plemented)”. Governance can be viewed in the following context : corporate governance,
international governance, national governance and local governance (UNESCO for Asia and
the Pacific). Good governance assures that corruption is minimized, the views of minorities
are taken into account and that the voices of the most vulnerable in society are heard in
decision-making, It is also responsive to the present and future needs of society.
Characteristics of Good Governance (UNESCO for Asia and the Pacific)
1. Participation
Participation as one aspects of good governance both men and women, must partake directly
or indirectly (having a representative) in every governmental process. This is because
participation is an essential cornerstone of good governance.
2. Rule of Law
The rule of law means to say that good governance manifested through the impartiality of fair
legal framework such as the promotion of a full protection of human rights and dignity espe-
cially those members of minorities.
3. Transparency
Transparency means that decisions were taken, and their enforcement are done in a manner
that follows rules and regulations. It also means that information is freely available and
directly accessible to those who will be affected by such decisions and their enforcement.
3. Responsiveness
Good governance requires that institutions and processes try to serve all stakeholders within
a reasonable timeframe.
3. Consensus Oriented
Good governance requires mediation of the different interests in society to reach a broad
consensus in society on what is in the best interest of the whole community and how this can
be achieved.
3. Effectiveness and Efficiency
Good governance means that processes and institutions produce results that meet the needs
of society while making the best use of resources and their disposal. The concept of
efficiency in the context of good governance also covers the sustainable use of natural
resources and protection of the environment.
3. Accountability
Accountability is a crucial requirement for good governance. Not only governmental institu-
tions but also the private sector and civil society organizations must be accountable to the
public and their institutional stakeholders.
Government is defined as the group of people with the authority to govern a country or state; a par-
ticular ministry in office. (Oxford Dictionary) Government is merely an instrument for the purpose of
governance while Governance is the exercise of political, economic, and administrative authority to
manage a nation’s affairs. Governance embraces all of the methods --- good and bad ----- the
societies use to distribute power and manage public resources and problems.

Activity 4: “Reading Activity”
Concepts Notes: Read the nature, dimensions, types and consequences of power.

The Meaning of Power :

Power is the ability to influence or outright control the behavior of people.
Power can be seen as evil or unjust.
Power is the ability of a person to influence another person or group to perform an act.

Nature

Power can be defined in many ways. Most simply, it is the ability to get what you want, or as
scholar Kenneth Boulding said, power is "the ability to change the future." Some scholars make
a distinction between three kinds of power-- "power over," "power to" and "power with.

"Power over" is the ability to dominate another person or group--as in "I have power
over him. This means, "I have the ability to make him do what I want him to do." Power-
over usually comes from force and threat. If the subordinate fails to do what he or she is
asked to do, the dominant person will use force to make the subordinate person comply.
"Power to" is the ability to do something on one’s own--it refers to one’s abilities. Sources of
this kind of power are intellect, resources, knowledge, stamina, etc. These resources
give some people the power to accomplish things that others cannot.
"Power with" is similar to "power to" in that it reflects ability, but "power with" is the ability
to work with others to get something done by cooperation. This is the power of consen-
sus--the power of people working together to solve a common problem

Dimensions

The first dimension of power fits in with the pluralist view and states that there is an open,
transparent system, while recognizing that political resources are not distributed evenly, they
are also not completely centralized with a small group of the elite. The real decision-making
power, the power to vote on legislation, introduce new bills rests with political actors. However
they are influenced by a number of other factors such as their constituents, lobbyists and pres-
sure groups and I think that this view of power fails to highlight how the political agenda can be
controlled or manipulated. Power is often exercised in a much more subtle way that the one
dimensional view suggests.

5
Types of Power
Coercive Power- This kind of power involves the usage of threat to make people do what
one desires. In the organizational set up, it translates into threatening someone with
transfer, firing, demotions etc. it basically forces people to submit to one’s demand for
the fear of losing something.
Reward Power- As the name suggests, this type of power uses rewards, perks, new pro-
jects or training opportunities, better roles and monetary benefits to influence people.
However, an interesting aspect of this type of power is that, it is not powerful enough in
itself, as decisions related to rewards do not rest solely with the person promising them,
because in organizations, a lot of other people come into play like senior managers and
board.
Legitimate Power- This power emanates from an official position held by someone, be it in
an organization, beurocracy or government etc. The duration of this power is short lived
as a person can use it only till the time he/she holds that position, as well as, the scope
of the power is small as it is strictly defined by the position held.
Expert Power- This is a personal kind of power which owes its genesis to the skills and ex-
pertise possessed by an individual, which is of higher quality and not easily available. In
such a situation, the person can exercise the power of knowledge to influence people.
Since, it is very person specific and skills can be enhanced with time; it has more credi-
bility and respect.
Referent Power- This is a power wielded by celebrities and film stars as they have huge fol-
lowing amongst masses who like them, identify with them and follow them. Hence, they
exert lasting influence on a large number of people for a large number of decisions; like
from what car to buy to which candidate to choose for a higher office in the country.

Consequences
The consequences of using coercive power.
No one likes to be threatened. Department members may do what the head wants if they are
threatened with political, social, financial – or even physical(!) – retribution if they do not, but
coercion is also likely to cause anger and alienation. As a consequence, even if department
members appear to agree to a head's demand, they may follow the letter but not the spirit of a
new policy, refuse to enact it when no one is watching them, sabotage it, and be less willing to
accept the head's influence in the future.

Concepts Notes: Analyze the relationship among nations and states in the context of globali-

Concept of a State
State taken from the Latin stare (to stand). According to James Garner, the State is a commu-
nity of persons more or less numerous occupying a definite portion of territory completely free
of external control and possessing an organized government to which a great body of inhabit-
ants render habitual obedience.

Elements of a State
1. People - also known as population or inhabitants.
2. Territory - refers to the portion of the earth which composed of aerial (air space above), flu-
vial (waters around and connecting the islands of the archipelago) and the terrestrial
(landmass) domains.
3. Sovereignty - refers to supreme and absolute power within its territorial boundaries.
4. Government – refers to the institution or agency or instrumentalities through which the
state maintains social order, provide public services, and enforces binding decisions. Inter-
national recognition, e.g. by the UN.

Concept of Nation
• Nation (Anderson 1991, Poggi 2008) is the social construction of a collective identity. It is
an imagined political community that is imagined as both inherently limited and sovereign.
• It is also defined as a group of people who share the same territory, geography, language,
customs and sometimes religion.

What is Nation-State?
A type of state that joins the political entity of a state to the cultural entity of a nation, from
which it aims to derive its potentially its status as a sovereign state if one accepts the declara-
tive theory of statehood as opposed to the constitutive theory.

Concept of Globalization
Globalization also known as global industrialism is a process of forging international political,
economic, religious, and socio-cultural interconnections. The concept of sovereign nation-
states is increasingly being challenged by globalization.
Types of Globalization
1. Economic globalization. This type focuses on the unification and integration of internation-
al financial markets, as well as multinational corporations that have a significant influence
on international markets.
2. Political globalization. This type deals mainly with policies designed to facilitate interna-
tional trade and commerce. It also deals with the institutions that implement these policies,
which can include national governments as well as international institutions, such as the In-
ternational Monetary Fund and the World Trade Organization.
3. Cultural globalization. This type focuses on the social factors that cause cultures to con-
verge -- such as increased ease of communication and transportation, brought about by
technology.

It's important to note that all the types influence each other. For example, economic globaliza-
tion is made possible by certain liberal trade policies that fall under the category of political
globalization. Cultural globalization is also affected by policies passed in political globalization
and is affected by economic globalization via the imports and exposure a culture has to other
cultures through trade.
