The term "politics" (from the Greek: o, politiká, "affairs of the cities") refers to a variety of activities that

are connected to group decision-making or other types of power interactions between people, such as
the allocation of resources or status. Political science is the name of the area of social science that
focuses on politics and governance.

Although term frequently has a negative connotation, it may be used constructively in the sense of a
"political solution" that is reasonable and nonviolent[1] or descriptively as "the art or science of
government."[2] The term has been defined in a number of ways, and diverse methods have
fundamentally different ideas about how broadly or narrowly, empirically or normatively, and how
important conflict or cooperation is to the concept.
