The word 'politics' comes from the Latin politia, meaning 'policy', and politics is generally
defined as the science or art of government. Politics has played an increasing part in human
affairs since men and women first organised themselves into societies, and most of history is an
account of politics in one form or another. There were brief periods, of relatively free or
representative government during the Greek and Roman eras. But until the seventeenth century,
politics was mostly the concern of powerful monarchs or other people in positions of high
authority, such as church leaders. The rise of political parties during the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries introduced the concept of government by consent rather than by force.
