Favoritism granted to relatives or close friends, without regard to their merit. Nepotism usually takes the form of employing relatives or appointing them to high office.

Nepotims is that you use your position to do things, give jobs to your family and friens. Example: I'm the mayor in a town and my secretary is my wife, the Sports Secretary is my brother, the person in charge of the maintanance of the public buldings is my cousin, and so. All the positions are ocupied by people who are my relatives some how.

Helping your family unfairly, to the disadvantage of others.
Like when JFK made his brother attorney general or whatever. It's not only in politics though.
