PROGRAM-TO-PROGRAM ARTICULATION AGREEMENT IN POLITICAL SCIENCEDecember 19th, 2011
FiledDecember 19th, 2011Political Science is an academic field of study focusing on key questions of political power, processes, and the authority of the institutions of the state. Analysis of governmental organizations and processes often involves understanding the political system (actors, institutions, and law) as a whole – in other words “politics” – “who gets what, when, and how”. The study of politics also requires examining the role of citizens and how they can influence (and are influenced by) governmental institutions, processes, and the law. Political Science also examines the “behavior” of informal political processes and actors – interest groups, media, public opinion, political culture, and non-governmental actors. Political Scientists study such processes in an effort to develop general principles or theories about the way the world of politics works.
