Politics is any activity related to how power, authority and resources are distributed, used and managed in society.<\/p>\n
In short:
\n- It determines decision-making processes in societies where people live together.
\n- It regulates who gets what, how and when (money, status, rights, security, etc.).
\n- It is used both in everyday life (\u201cpolitics at home\u201d) and at the state level (\u201cgovernment politics\u201d).<\/p>\n
In the famous words of Aristotle: \u201cMan is a political animal\u201d (zoon politikon). In other words, politics is inherent in human nature, because coexistence is necessary and rules, agreements and power relations are required to organize this coexistence.<\/p>\n
Politics is not only about elections, parties and governments. It also means:
\n- Decision-making in the family,
\n- The boss-worker relationship at work,
\n- Student-teacher dynamics at school,
\n- In the international arena, inter-state relations are also part of politics.<\/p>\n
Political science is a branch of social science that studies the phenomenon of politics with scientific methods.<\/p>\n
Objective:
\n- Analyze political events, institutions, behaviors and systems objectively and systematically,
\n- Finding answers to the question, \u201cWhy is this happening?\u201d,
\n- It is an attempt to anticipate possible future developments.<\/p>\n
The main sub-branches are:
\n- Comparative politics: Compare the systems of different countries (democracy, dictatorship, monarchy, etc.).
\n- International relations: War and peace between states, alliances, global economy.
\n- History of political thought: The evolution of political ideas from Plato to Rawls.
\n- Political behavior: Why do voters vote, how does propaganda influence?
\n- Public administration and public policy: How is the state run, how are taxes spent?<\/p>\n
Political science asks both normative (how should it be?) and positive (what is actually happening?) questions.<\/p>\n
For example:
\n- \u201cIs democracy the best system?\u201d (normative)
\n- \u201cWhich factors determine voter behavior in Turkey?\u201d (positive)<\/p>\n
To summarize:
\n- Politics = Life itself (the practice of power and decision-making)
\n- Political Science = The science that studies this practice as a laboratory<\/p>\n
Both are inseparable; we cannot have political science without politics, and we cannot make politics conscious without political science.<\/p>\n
Does \u00d6zg\u00fcr \u00d6zel act according to the voter profile? Can a leader who does not know political science be a politician? Like a teenage high school boy, he has stayed in dormitories. He has neither political knowledge nor political science.<\/p>\n
Let's talk about \u00d6zg\u00fcr \u00d6zel's predictions... For example, the Minister of Justice announced Ak\u0131n G\u00fcrlek's assets with fake documents, in violation of the KVKK. The incident turned back on itself like a boomerang. Both the allegation of a $20 million fortune and the attempt to make a profit by buying an apartment in Be\u015fikta\u015f, which has a demolition order, and having the demolition order lifted... A politician who cannot foresee the consequences cannot be a politician.<\/p>\n
The more he spoke out, the more Murat Emir's assets were questioned. The more he spoke out, the more his own weaknesses were revealed.<\/p>\n
Politics requires rationality, it requires foresight, it requires knowing the society. And more than that, a politician who does not know Turkish society cannot open a \u201cTomb of Thief Baba\u201d in Silivri and gather 500 people.<\/p>\n
A politician who cannot convince the masses cannot sit in that seat.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
