POLITICS

CONCEPT OF POLITICS: the systematic study of government processes by the application of scientific methods of analysis. More narrowly and more traditionally, it has been thought of as the study of the state and of the organs and institutions through which the state functions. In most countries, political science is thought to be a single discipline, but the plural form has been used in France, as in the name of the École Libre des Sciences Politiques (now Institut d'Études Politiques de l'UniversitEde Paris), founded in 1871—although there is also an Association Française de Science Politique. Speculation about political subjects is not unknown in ancient non-Western cultures, but most students agree that the roots of political science are to be found in the earliest sources of Western thought, especially in the works of Aristotle, who is recognized by many as the founder of political science.
