Examples

.

He does not like talking about politics.

.

The country needs a new policy on schools.

as .

She is interested in international politics.

One word, two senses that English splits: is both politics as a field and a policy, a chosen course of action, so is the school's policy, not its Westminster intrigues. Context sorts it out, as it does in French and German. A politician is a o, and the adjective covers both senses too.
