Politics is about power – who has it and how it is exercised by nation-states, individuals, groups, classes, or political parties, and how different interests are reconciled in and between communities. Political Studies are also concerned with institutions created to govern communities, as well as political practices such as voting habits or protests, and how rules, behaviour and culture are created in societies. Since power in society is often dependent upon material resources, political scientists study the distribution of wealth, both within and between nations.
