WHAT DO YOU
NEED TO KNOW?
Define the key concepts of Politics and Governance
Political science deals with the study of power in society, politics and government. The
dynamic character of human society and the differences in contexts of different states have
resulted in different views, theories, and definitions on the concepts of politics and governance.
Having a basic knowledge on political science can be empowering for every citizen,
especially in a democratic country like the Philippines. There are various theories in political
science, but we only have to study the concepts in the Philippine context.

Page | 13
The Greeks formulated the word politics during the 4th and 5th century. Politics was
inseparable from life in the polis or a place or state shared by a certain group of people. This
concept of politics may be as old as the first organization created by man. According to Aristotle
and Plato, humans are not self-sufficing so they find the need to come together as a community.
From this union comes the need for politics and governance to maintain order with a society.
Social contract theories like Thomas Hobbes, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and John Locke
during the 17th and 18th century Europe stressed the hypothetical state of nature that was devoid
of any kind of government. This state of nature is often violent and chaotic; therefore, people
enter themselves into a social contract or a written or unwritten binding agreement among the
people that bids for the creation of a government and the consequent use of politics for the
achievement of peace and order (Baradat 1997)
Political science is the academic discipline that deals with the key issues and concepts in
politics. Niccolo Machiavelli is widely accepted as the father of modern political science
because of his discussion on maintaining power in his books The Prince and Discourses. But
even before Machiavelli, both Plato and Aristotle had already provided broad discussions on the
central concepts in politics such as the concept of justice (what and who is morally and
politically right), power (source of authority), the right types of constitutions and governments
(different types of government and states), political structures (different ideologies in a state),
and right and virtuous leadership (who should lead in a certain political system) (Curtis
1981).key fields in politics include power relations in society, forms of government, political
behavior, and with the cultural turn of the 20th century, the inclusion of political culture and the
civil society’s role in government.
While politics deals with power in society in general, governance specifically deals with
power in government and how this institution exerts power for the benefit of the society. Today,
the discussion of politics and governance in political science has been divided in different fields
of interest, namely, political theory, political methodology, comparative politics, international
relation, and law (Roskin et al. 2007)
Political theory deals with the different perspective and ideas regarding politics and
governance of different political philosophers from the ancient times like Aristotle to Niccolo
Machiavelli, to the time of Industrial revolution through Karl Marx, and contemporary political
philosophers like Hannah Arendt. Political methodology is more concerned upon the
application of political concept into research and policy making almost similar to the applied
nature of public administration (Roskin et al. 2007)

Page | 14
Comparative politics is about comparing various political systems and different constitution
among different countries through time. This type of study is not new for it was made by
Aristotle and Plato during the golden age of ancient Greece in their influential works, Aristotle’s
Politics and Plato’s The Republic, when they compared various forms of governments (Roskin
et al. 2007)
International relations bear resemblance to comparative politics; but instead of comparing, it

concentrates on establishing and maintaining relations among countries through time. And by
relations, those who are studying this field attempt on maintaining peaceful and diplomatic
relations among countries (Roskin et al. 2007).
Law is another central concept in politics and governance. Law is basically any written
statement that limits or guides the behavior of a certain group. Politics, as the art and science of
government, highlights the role of law in organizing and stabilizing individual interests to
prevent the overlapping individual needs and promote collective gains in society (Roskin et al.
2007).
The knowledge of politics and governance therefore is a critical attribute of a citizen

belonging to a certain state. In ancient Greece, anyone who was ignorant of the laws and the
political processes of the polis was considered as an idiot (Curtis 1981) primarily because of the
democratic structure of the polis where every male was expected to participate in decision-
making and politics. Today, the knowledge of politics and governance not only helps in the
participation of an individual in the state but it also helps in safeguarding an individual against
bad government practices and abuse.

WHAT DO YOU
NEED TO KNOW?
1. Enumerate ideas that have a direct impact on a political

community; and
2. Explain how political ideologies affect the social and
political life of Filipinos.
The goal of every government is to mobilize its citizen to achieve a common end, that is, the
welfare of the state as a whole. As a guide, government use ideologies to help consolidate the
support of the constituents. It is also through ideology that civil societies go against oppressive
government.
Ideology basically defined as political statements that aim to call upon massive mass or
government action to achieve a relatively better political economic condition (Baradat 1997).
This definition is the product of numerous views from different political scientists and
philosophers through time from the classical to the modern period.
Ideologies are goal-oriented; meaning, they are for or against a certain configuration of a
political community. Their application, however, are dependent upon the different political
attitudes of people and institutions. Frederick Watskin (1969) suggested that ideologies come
from different political extremes such as the conservatives or the pro-status quo on one side, and
the radicals or the anti-status quo on the extreme side.
Modern-day political scientists have expanded the spectrum to include different levels of
political attitudes and the different ways in which each level wants to preserve or change the
status quo. At the extreme right of the spectrum, changing the status quo is not a primary concern
and if ever change happens, a retrogressive is taken into consideration or the return of old status
quo. In this level are the reactionaries and the conservatives. Sandwiched at the middle are the
moderates, who have no neutral opinion with regard to political matters.

Page | 24
Here are some political ideologies and their impact on political communities:
 Conservatism- as the name, one is focused on conserving something It is characterized

by a resistant to change, adherent to limited human freedom as it chooses to maintain
traditional values, and at some extreme versions, distrust to human reasoning and nature
or anti-egalitarianism (Sargent 20008) Edmund Burke, through his work Reflections on
the French Revolution, argued that institutions evolved over time to fit the needs of
society, thus "tampering with tradition is likely to bring grief rather than improvement"
(Sargent 2009), It should be noted, however, that his idea is not an extreme one because
he still adheres to change although through a slow and gradual process. According to Sen.
Defensor-Santiago (2002), "Social problems are not always solved by reason" and that
the leftist always imagines that things are better now but in reality, "violent upheavals
always make things worse."
 Liberalism- It can be said that liberalism is the opposite of conservatism for it favors
change, prefers more freedom, and has a more optimistic approach to human reasoning
and nature (Sargent 2009), Classical liberalism adheres to the laissez-faire system
proposed by Adam Smith in his Wealth of Nations, wherein the government does not
interfere with the market. Modern liberalism, upon seeing the adverse impact of the free
market (such as monopolies, unfair contracts, the poor become poorer), is more open to
the idea that, at certain times, the government should interfere.
 Marxism- One should be careful in branding communism, socialism, or any other similar
ideologies as Marxists because they may not necessarily reflect the ideas of Karl Marx
although these ideologies might find their roots in the tenets proposed by Marx. Some
social scientists do not even consider Karl Marx as Marxist. Some of the ideological and
conceptual bases of Marxism are the following:
A. Alienation- This is the relationship between two or more people or parts of oneself in
which one is cut off from, a stranger or alien, the others (Sargent 2009). For Marx,
alienation in its basic form is the alienation from one's labor (or product of one's labor),
and capitalism is a great factor in this phenomenon.

Page | 25
B. Class Struggle- Karl Marx also noted the struggle between the bourgeoisie (the capitalist
or middle class) and the proletariat (workers). The bourgeoisie social class oppresses and
exploits the proletariat not only through unfair compensation of the latter's labor but also
by setting up laws and standards, 'and controlling the system or the state to maintain its
social status. But there will come a time for the need to educate the proletariat and/or they
will eventually be made aware of their situation and will overthrow the bourgeoisie and
the systems they created, which means also overthrowing the state (Sargent 2009;
Defensor-Santiago 2002)
C. Materialism- Marxism and the offshoots of this ideology offer a complex perspective
and usage of materialism. Most social scientists, however, would agree to the basic
definition that "how people think is greatly affected by how you live" (Sargent 2009). For
example, the members of the bourgeoisie might think more of profit and leisure, that life
is good, and that money can do anything. This is because they live a comfortable life with
money and power in the state. They do not actually do the hard labor. In fact, their profit
might even come in through passive income. But the members of the proletariat who
work every day for income might think more of survival, that life is unfair. They might
think that either there is no good in trying to change their status or they might be driven
to strive for more whatever it takes.
D. Revolution- Almost all theories and ideologies related to Marxism consider proclaiming
revolution as the way to change the system. By revolution, Marx did not mean peaceful
walkouts but a violent one in which the proletariat will topple down the elite class and all
the systems they have made. Even in its violent nature, Marx considered revolution as a
good and inevitable process that will eventually lead to a classless ideal society in the
form of communism (Sargent 2009).

Page | 26
E. Anarchism- While most people are familiar with how anarchy is popularly used to mean
chaos due to the nonexistence of control mechanisms, the idea behind it is actually more
on peaceful coexistence and equality. Contrary to the popular depiction of anarchism in
movies, anarchists believe that since power corrupts, a better system based on voluntary
cooperation and not on power relations should be established, and that this system will
address the needs of the people more successfully (Sargent 2009). It is living a peaceful
life without coercion from anyone. As Alexander Berkman (1964) put it: "Anarchism
teaches that we can live in a society where there is no compulsion of any kind. A life
without compulsion naturally means liberty; it means freedom from being forced or
coerced, a chance to lead the life that suits you best."
F. Libertarianism- This is another version of anarchism but involves the government in a

minimal role such as ensuring the safety of everyone and fairness in whatever contracts
or dealings (Sargent 2009).
Learning about political ideologies is advantageous in understanding certain political

contexts. In the Philippines, different political ideologies like Marxism and communism have
affected different political-historical events such as the First Quarter Storm during the Marcos
dictatorship and the formation of different insurgents in the country like the New People's Army
(NPA) of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP).
There are other ideologies, depending on the issue or aspect of human life one is studying.
There are also new ideologies that may crop up. Remember that because of the multitude and
complexity of some issues on politics and governance, we cannot be all too liberal or all too
conservative.

WHAT DO YOU
NEED TO KNOW?
Define the nature, types, and consequences of power
Power in the natural sciences can be easily established through a single equation, which
signifies the quantifiable nature of physical power. Power in society, and by extension, the social
sciences, on the other hand, is more complicated because it is continuously being molded by the
dynamic nature of society and the objective and subjective capacity of man.
Dahl (1950) defined power in society as the ability of person A or institution A to make person
B or institution B do something that person B or institution B, on his/her/its own, would not do.
From the said definition, power in society spans a broad spectrum of meaning that includes
force, authority, influence, and most of the time, coercion.
In addition, in society, there are different forms of power- from authoritative power to
economic power. There also many ways in which power can be expressed by individuals or
institutions. Likewise, expressing power may range from the simplest of human interaction, such
as when parents tell their children what they should and should not do, to the grandest, such as
when the government imposes policies for the welfare of its constituents.
Political power in a state is exercised by the government. Through this power, the government
is able to create and enact laws that promote peace and order in society and influence various
processes such as those affecting the economy for the benefit of its constituents as well.
 Compulsory power involves the direct control of one actor over the existence or
behavior of another actor.

Page | 36
 Institutional power is the power wielded by entities like governments, churches,
and corporations to control people and direct their behavior through the use of
rewards and punishments. Institutional power exists in situations where authority
has been socially approved and accepted as legitimate.
 Structural power basically looks at the position and the roles of various actors in
relation to each other. Examples are coach to player, boss to worker, or captain to
crew relationships wherein the position of each player toward another provides them
roles and responsibilities that they play even without one coercing the other.
 Productive power is similar to structural power that looks into the relative position of
the actors, the social production of their roles, and how the roles affect the actor’s
perceptions and actions. However, productive power focuses not on the direct
structures provided and accepted by each actor, but on the discourse between the
actors in which power is negotiated.
