What is POLITICAL SCIENCE?
|
Political Science is the systematic study of political life. Political scientists seek answers to such questions as “What reasons justify the actions of government?” and “Whose interests are served by governments?” Political scientists study various forms of government as well as political parties, pressure groups, elections, international relations, and public administration. All these are activities of individuals and groups and involve basic human relationships. Political science deals with such fundamental values as equality, freedom, justice, and power.
