Politics, Psychology and Ethics

Political science is primarily concerned with the laws governing political situations. The {general} terms power. They are defined by the number and relative strength of the power units, their given interests and alignments. In the field of foreign affairs, these units are usually independent States, in the field of municipal politics the units may be represented by the most various groups, sections or parties.

Obviously, except for the purpose of study, these fields canot be neatly separated. The governmental power resulting from the political situation at home, is a datum in the political situation abroad. And vice versa, changes in the political situation abroad, e. g. a realignment of the Great Powers, may result in a shift in the data of the political situation At home. Apart from the national and international field, there are also numerous other fields of power, partly overlapping with the former ones, such as religious, economic or cultural interests, ranging from schems in the Church of Rome down to the squabbles in a local football team.
