Political science is the study of political values, institutions, processes, and policies. It focuses on the system of governance by which societies set their public priorities and policies and on how government touches the individual. Political science deals with basic questions about power, authority, social values, and political manipulation-the ways that societies determine their collective priorities and attempt to bring them into being. This paper is an introduction to political science, the study of politics. Politics is about power -- Who has it? Who doesn't? Why? How is it is acquired and exercised? When and where does it occur? How does it change? Why is there such popular disdain for politicians and, 'politics'? Is it merited? What comes to mind when you think of 'politics'? In other words, we will examine the ideas, institutions, identities and interests that influence and structure politics around the world, from the local to the global, from everyday life, to legislatures and courtrooms, to international institutions.
