Politics

Why it matters

• It serves as the primary mechanism for conflict resolution and the mediation of competing interests among diverse social groups.
• It establishes the framework for governance, defining how public policy is formulated, implemented, and held accountable.
• It facilitates the allocation of societal values and the maintenance of order through institutionalized authority.

How it is asked

Focus on the distinction between political theory and practical governance, the role of institutions in maintaining constitutional democracy, and the influence of political processes on socio-economic development.
