How is natural science related to political science?

Everything that we create in our human societies depends upon
the natural world. Environmentalism is the most obvious bridge
between natural science and political science. It is a political
objective to have a livable environment in which to live, but
without the help of natural science, we will never know how to
accomplish that objective.

What is the relationship between political science and other natural sciences?

Firstly, political science is not a natural science, so it bears
a weaker relationship than other natural sciences. Political
science draws on some of the methods (e.g.) mathematics and
statistics) and philosophies (e.g.) positivism) from the natural
sciences but, for the most part, relies on its own
counterparts.

What is the difference between master of arts political science or master of science in political science?

The difference between M.A. and M.Sc., as the difference between
B.A. and B.Sc., is typically of a formal nature rather than of a
real nature - there is no difference in terms of what you study or
how you study. The choice of name mostly has to do with the history
of each University than with anything else.

What is difference between political science and politics?

Political science and Politics are two words that are often
confused when it comes to their meaning. Actually there is some
difference between the two words. Political science deals with the
science of politics. On the other hand, politics refers to the
affairs of the state. This is the main difference between political
science and politics.
Political science deals with the origin of politics, forms of
government in various countries, the various rights of people in a
country, the role of the ruling party and the opposition party, and
such other topics. On the other hand, the word 'politics' refers to
the state of affairs of a country.
Political science is theory; politics is the practical
acquisition and use of power. They are no more related than any
other "practice" and "theory" are.
