Definition of political science and developments in the World

Talk about politics we would be thinking in the direction of government, governance procedures in the management, government policies are issued as well as a few things about political parties, parliamentarians and others. All this is a discussion of the scope of political science who taught in the books as well as from several experts.

 

Political science is essentially the basis of the social sciences in general and is often regarded as one of the branches of social sciences who have a foundation, frame, focus and scope of the obvious. Political science can be said as a young science, because of the new born in the 19th century, was at that time many events that could produce new ideas about power. Look like the French Revolution, Italy, and several countries at that time caught up in an atmosphere of absolute monarchy of the king.

 

In its website, Wikipedia says that political science is a branch of social science that addresses the theory and practice of politics and the description and analysis of political systems and political behavior. This science-oriented academic, theoretical, and research. The scientist study the allocation and transfer of political power in decision making, roles and systems of governance including governments and international organizations, political behavior and public policy. They measure the success of governance and specific policies by examining many factors, including stability, justice, material wealth, and peace. Some political scientists seek to develop this science in a positive way to do political analysis. While others do normative development by making specific policy recommendations.

 

With the scope of political science that can be scaled down, so at this stage to grow significantly in political science and adjacent to the branches of the other social sciences. Often we see that the problems often associated with problems of political sociology, Anthropology, Law, government. It shows that there a mutual influence between these disciplines.

 

Prof. Miriam Budiardjo in his book entitled "Basics of Political Science" says, in continental European countries such as Germany, Austria and France, a discussion of politics in the 18th century and the 19 is much influenced by the science of law and therefore the focus of attention is the state only. Discussion of the state including the curriculum as a course Sciences Faculty of Law State (Staatslehre). In England the political issues are considered including philosophy, particularly moral philosophy, and bahasannya is considered inseparable from the history. However, with the establishment of the Ecole Libre des Sciences Politiques in Paris and the London School of Economics and Political Science in political science for the first time in these countries is considered as a separate discipline that deserves a place in college curriculum.

 

In this case I see the existence of a superior development of political science that looks at the cases given. In fact, in the United States there was a development that different. Juridical early pressure as found in Europe affect the discussion of political issues, but after a long time arises a strong desire to break free from judicial pressure, and more based upon empirical data collection. Incidentally subsequent developments coincided with the development of sociology and psychology, so that both branches are a lot of influence methodology and terminology.    

 

Until in 1858 a German-born scholar, Francis Lieber, danalm appointed as professor of history and political science at Columbia College, and the incident in the United States is considered as the first recognition of political science as a science in itself. Subsequent development of fast runs, which can be seen also from the establishment, American Political Science Association (APSA) in 1904.

 

From this history we can see the development of political science in the countries of Europe and America. So first of my articles on political science this article may be useful for us all.
