"The branch of social science, which is concerned with the systems of governance as well as the analysis of political thoughts, political activities and political behavior is referred to as political science. It is a vast discipline that can be divided into various sub-fields including political economy, comparative politics, international relations, political theory, public policy, public administration and political methodology. Political science draws upon various fields of sociology, economics, philosophy, geography, anthropology, psychology, law and neuroscience. One of the most common areas of political science is comparative politics, which is a science that deals with the comparison and teaching of constitutions, legislature, political actors and related fields. This book attempts to understand the multiple branches that fall under the discipline of political science and how such concepts have practical applications. The book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of this discipline. It will provide comprehensive knowledge to the readers." -- Provided by publisher
