Public policy is the study of how governmental decisions are shaped from political, socio-economic, and institutional perspectives and the process by which decisions are made as well as the subject matter of each policy.

Citizenship is the membership in a political community (originally a city but now usually a country) and carries with it rights to political participation; a person having such membership is a citizen.

National security is the requirement to maintain the survival of the nation-state through the use of political, economic and military power and the exercise of diplomacy.
