Machiavellianism (politics)
Machiavellianism (or Machiavellism) is widely defined as the political philosophy of the Italian Renaissance diplomat Niccolò Machiavelli, usually associated with realism in foreign and domestic politics, and with the view that those who lead governments must prioritize the stability of the regime over ethical concerns.[1][2][3] There is no scholarly consensus as to the precise nature of Machiavelli's philosophy, or what his intentions were with his works.[4][5] The word Machiavellianism first appeared in the English language in 1607, due to Machiavelli's popularity, often as a byword for unsavory government politics.[3][6]
