AS and A2 Government and Politics (Edexcel)
Politics is the study of conflict and power. From the debates between the Conservative Party and the Labour Party about education, health and the economy to the ‘Occupy’ movement in New York and London and the Arab spring in Libya, Egypt and Syria, politics is all around us.
In any society there are arguments about how we should run our lives and allocate scarce resources. Politics is the study of these disagreements and how they are resolved. In a democracy such as the UK, these conflicts are resolved peacefully through voting or pressure groups. However, in other countries, or on the world stage, violence, terrorism and war are used to resolve differences. Politics is an exciting and dynamic subject which draws on real examples from the world around us to answer the question of ‘how we should live our lives and organise our affairs?’
