What is Political Science?
Political Science is the study of government and political behavior, processes and institutions. Government and politics have been studied since the time of the ancient Greeks. However,with the general systematization of the social sciences in the late 1800's and early 1900's, political science emerged as a separate definable area of study within academia. Political science is commonly divided into a number of subfields such as political theory, American politics, comparative politics, international relations and public policy..
