Contemporary Political Science

Description

Contemporary political science traces its roots primarily to the 19th century, when the rapid growth of the natural sciences stimulated enthusiasm for the creation of a new social science. A political concept is not merely a matter of faith or belief; it develops through a lot of reasoning. Different ideologies (liberalism, Marxism and socialism) have been subjected to verification and the political thinkers relied on 'facts' and 'practical experience'. Political theory generates a spirit of reasoning, which would help students to make arguments or statements when they participate in debates. Political science focuses on the theory and practice of government and politics at the local, state, national, and international levels. We are dedicated to developing understandings of institutions, practices, and relations that constitute public life and modes of inquiry that promote citizenship. Some of the most important developments in political science since it became a distinct academic discipline have occurred in the United States. Politics had long been studied in American universities, but usually as part of the curricula of law, philosophy, or economics. Traditional theory or approach in political science is a normative or an imaginative approach to politics. It emphasis on “what ought to be“ rather than “what is“ and is based on historical and ideological underpinning. In this case, scientific methods are not in their analogies but mere imaginations and intuitions. They are also referred to as idealists. Traditional approach are utopian, idea driven and are based on historical facts. This book contains the fundamental and basic information on the subject.
