Morphology
metapolitics = politics (transparent) = meta + polit + ics
The word is built from meta- plus politics, and the sense of studying the underlying principles of politics follows the literal meaning fairly closely.
Etymology
Metapolitics joins meta-, meaning 'beyond' or 'about', and politics, meaning 'public life' or government. So metapolitics is the study that looks 'behind' everyday politics to find the basic ideas and frameworks that shape political systems.
