Semicolon use in a long list?
Hi, everyone.
Could you tell me whtether the use of semicolon in the sentence below deals with its use in the long list of items?
Is the last semicolon, used before "and" , correct?
Politics is used in a variety of meanings. It may mean (i) an activity, an event, a process or a conflict or struggle among groups of people; (ii) an occupation or public career; and (iii) a systematic study and a theory or philosophy of the political activities, struggle or conflicts, etc.
Thanks!

The semicolon is correct, but "or" would be better than "and", in my view. I would put a colon after "mean". The definitions are poorly worded or incorrect.
