Political science is the study of politics and power from domestic, regional, international, and comparative perspectives. It explores how political systems operate, the distribution and exercise of power, and the behaviour of political entities, such as individuals, groups, and institutions. Moreover, it examines the societal, cultural, and psychological factors that interact to shape the functioning of government and the political system, and investigates issues such as democracy, justice, conflict, and power dynamics both domestically and globally.
