Politics is the study of governments – of their roles, responsibilities and functions. It encompasses the relationship between the governed and those in power, considering in particular the role of UK and American governments. It also covers ideologies, how they have shaped political systems and how they inform and educate the electorate. The most successful Politics A Level students are those who relish reading about current affairs, international relations and governments throughout the world. They are inquisitive and enjoy debating and writing argumentative and cogent essays that tackle the key debates shaping British and American politics.
