Traditionalists typically restrict the scope of political science to the study of government alone, viewing it as the primary focus of the discipline. This approach leaves out other important aspects such as political behavior, comparative politics, and international relations.
What else can I help you with?
How is political science related to other social science?
Well, there is actually a very strong bond between Political Science and subjects such as Sociology or Psychology due to all of those look how humans interact. Although Sociology and Psychology are a bit different due to the Biology side of it, socially they're all the same.
What can you do with a masters in political science?
Over two years ago, I wondered the exact same question and could never receive a direct answer. Currently, I am enrolled in an MA program for political science and could hopefully shed some insight as to exactly the value of obtaining such a degree. Immediately after receiving a BA in Political Science, I immediately began work in campaigning. Afterwards, I did some side work in consulting for a while then worked for a state legislator. This lasted for slightly over a year before I enrolled in an MA program full time. My ultimate goal is to obtain a Ph.D., subsequently teaching and researching. The simple answer to the question, then, is because acquiring an MA in Political Science advances your own career. One becomes more competitive as a job applicant with an advanced degree in the field, whatever that field may be and certainly this one is no exception. One likely result is faster advancement, certainly within any government or campaign related job. An advanced degree really helps if you want to really stand out from the rest. Although, if looking to stay within the world of public policy or campaigning, it might be advantageous to focus efforts on an advanced degree less theoretical and more specialized. For such prospects, I would recommend obtaining a Masters in Public Policy or the like. In contrast, from what I have witnessed, most of those seeking an MA degree, however, are looking to continue their education after obtaining such. Many of those in my program are planning to go onto law school or earn a Ph.D. and are earning an MA to make them more competitive for the big name law and research schools. Some, however, simply wish to earn only an MA and focus their efforts on teaching rather than research. I guess, then, the short answer is you can do anything with an MA degree you can do with a BA, except of course teach at the college level, although it does make you more competitive a candidate, but a MPA could do that as well for specific fields. There is also of course as I strongly believe the idea of protracting one's understanding of the world. This, regardless of the career and economic benefits, improves a person's quality of life and atleast for myself was motivation alone toward obtaining an MA.
What are the main social cleavages that interest political scientists?
Social cleavage is a division between political parties and Social class, religion, geographic regions,urban/rural areas and interset groups. These are significant because they generally determine party affiliation and how to appeal to each group. Karl Marx believed middle and upper class citizens to be mostly conservetives, while the working class were more progressive, however social class alone does not determine political affiliation. Religion is a better determining factor than social class because people who are affiliated with their specific religion tend to vote along the lines of what their church or other religious institution holds to be important. Rrural areas tend to lean more to the left especially where development is still in progress, compared to modernized cities or urban areas where living conditions are better and education is more readily available. Goegraphy is important because of the differing view points in sections of regions. An example might be Ireland and the struggle between the north and south for political dominance.
Should countries be left alone to sort out their own politics?
i think if other countries does get involved in other countries politics and starts deciding rules , it would put their country in danger and at risk of get into a war because if the country does not like the new rules an laws people will start campaign about it and starting civil wars and start rebelling against their government and after that the two countries will loses their alliance and trust against each other.
