Politics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Politics, sometimes defined as "the art and science of
government."[1], is a process by which collective 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 is the study of political behavior and examines the
acquisition and application of power.
One theorist, Harold Lasswell, has defined politics as "who gets
what, when, where, and how." An alternative definition, put forth by
political scientists Dickerson and Flanagan, is that politics is a
"process of conflict resolution in which support is mobilized and
maintained for collective projects".
Politics (Aristotle)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Politics of Aristotle is the second half of a single treatise of
which his Ethics is the first. Both deal with one and the same
subject. This subject is what Aristotle calls in one place the
"philosophy of human affairs" but more frequently Political or Social
Science. He collected and studied the constitutions of over 150 city
states before writing the Politics.
