Abstract

Politics is the creature of conflict. It is the mechanism by which conflict about public policy is resolved. It is about decision and choice, it operates through competition and compromise based on the relative priority of different interests. Thus, the essence of political decision lies in the process by which interests are apportioned a relative worth and priority.
