What is politics? And how can we understand it? Political Science (PS) 11 introduces students to the discipline of Political Science. It explains the foundational concepts, theories and approaches that are essential to the study and analysis of politics and its dynamic context. It further delineates and discusses the types of political systems, regimes and institutional designs and provides ways of understanding how political institutions and processes develop and work. The course allows students to understand the dynamics, nature, and outcomes of politics – applying this knowledge to textbook and actual current cases and issues in “politics.”
