Politics revolves around power dynamics – examining who holds influence and how it's wielded by governments, individuals, organizations, social classes, or political factions, along with how conflicting interests find resolution within and among societies. The field of Political Studies explores governing structures established for communities, as well as civic activities like electoral participation or demonstrations, investigating how societal norms, conduct, and traditions develop. Because societal power frequently correlates with economic resources, political scholars analyze wealth allocation both domestically and globally. At Queen's University, students refine their argumentation abilities through the Model Parliament program, engage with global concerns via Model UN simulations, or participate in discussions with the International Affairs Association. The study of politics at Queen's transcends traditional academic boundaries.
