[This chapter examines the politics of positive aging. It starts off by defining active agingActive aging and exploring how positive agingPositive aging theories contributed to shaping agingAgingpolicyPolicy. The chapter continues with an analysis of how active aging policyActive aging policy and images of agingAging are interlinked and how they evolved historically. It is argued that images of agingAging are not just theoretical constructs but play a significant role for agingAgingpolicyPolicy development and implementation. Three examples are used to show how images of agingAging are used by policyPolicy: (1) the strategy used by the World HealthHealth Organization to support positive agingPositive aging by encouraging behavior change at individual level, (2) the EU strategies applied to endorse institutional changes that can accommodate an increasing agingAging population, and (3) Germanies’ active aging policyActive aging policy agenda that actively promotes positive agingPositive aging images.]
