Course summary

Politics attempts to analyse, understand and explain the relationship between political ideas, institutions and processes. The Level focus is on parliament, government and the people; representative democracy; participation; the structures of authority and power; the rights and responsibilities of individuals; engagement with contemporary politics in the UK; current political debates; and the links between political ideologies and political action. With an incredible series of unexpected and unpredictable events at home and abroad in recent years, the study of Politics has never been more relevant or more fascinating and it’s a great subject for those with enquiring minds and a desire to find out just what is going on in the world today and why. A Level Politics at Babington House follows the Edexcel course, focusing on British and US Politics.
