Subjects
Political science (also political studies) – the study of political behaviour and an examination of the acquisition and application of power.
Political philosophy – the study of fundamental questions about the state, government, politics, liberty, justice, property, rights, law and the enforcement of a legal code by authority.
An aspect of political science, attempts to quantify and explain the influences that define a person’s political views, ideology, and levels of political participation.
Politics and ideology – an organised collection of ideas
- public international law, which involves, for instance, the United Nations, maritime law, international criminal law and the Geneva Conventions.
- private international law or conflict of laws, which addresses the question of which legal jurisdiction cases may be heard in
- supranational law or the law of supranational organizations, which concerns at present regional agreements where the special distinguishing quality is that laws of nation-states are held inapplicable when conflicting with a supranational legal system.
A political system is a system of politics and government. It is usually compared to the law system, economic system, cultural system, and other social systems. It is different from them, and can be generally defined on a spectrum from left, i.e. communism, anarchism and socialism to the right, i.e. fascism and conservatism.
