Political science is the systematic study of government, politics, and public policy. It explores how political systems operate, how political decisions are made, and how power and resources are distributed in societies. The course delves into various forms of government, political ideologies, institutions, political behavior, and international relations. It encourages students to critically analyze political events, understand the role of laws and constitutions, and evaluate the impact of policies on individuals and communities. Through the study of political theories, comparative politics, and global affairs, students gain insights into the functioning of states and the dynamics of power at both national and international levels. The course also emphasizes research, analytical thinking, and effective communication, preparing students for careers in public service, law, international organizations, and academia.
