politikáinak

politikainak is a Basque term used to refer to political affairs or policy matters as a broad field. It is closely related to the Basque word politika (politics) and is used to denote the sector of public life that includes government, policy development, elections, political parties, and public debate. In Basque-language media and scholarship, politikainak is employed to discuss how policies are formed, challenged, and implemented, as well as how political actors interact and compete.

Usage and connotations: The word signals a collective or systematic view of politics rather than individual actions. It appears in discussions of governance, public administration, and policy analysis, and can be used when contrasting political life with other spheres such as economics or culture. Its usage is common in formal writing as well as journalism.

Linguistic notes: As a term, politikainak belongs to the domain of Basque political vocabulary. Basque-language resources, dictionaries, and political science texts use it to point to the field of politics or policy as a whole. The precise sense can vary with context, sometimes referring to the politics as a discipline, sometimes to public policies and the political process.
