Preface of the subject
Political science is that branch of the social sciences that studies the state, politics, and government. Political Science deals extensively with the analysis of political systems, the theoretical and practical applications to politics, and the examination of political behavior. Political science is not a standalone field and it intersects many other branches like sociology, economics, history, anthropology, public policy among others. Political scientists are much sought after these days because of the changing landscape of politics across the world and since the society wants to understand how the political world works, they need someone to explain the nuances of the political economy. Any casual perusal of the newspapers and the television channels reveals that political scientists are at the forefront of debates and discussions for their knowledge and expertise. The mission of the programme in Political Science is to provide courses to our students that foster critical, independent thinking about politics and public life. The programme provides an understanding of political concepts and the organization and function of political systems. Our major programs equip students with the ability to understand political theories and to gain knowledge and experience through written work, lectures, reading, active learning and internships.
The M. A. Programme in Political Science is designed and structured with a view to understand the place of Political Science within the broader spectrum of Social Sciences and allied interdisciplinary areas. Students should be able to differentiate among multiple Political Science perspectives, theories and ideologies from a range of written or spoken genres. They should be able to explain, analyze and articulate contemporary issues and events using such perspectives, theories and ideologies. The learning of the subject makes the students to understand the diverse institutions, processes, constitutional and legal frameworks and public policies in one’s own country and to compare it across the world. The study of the subject helps to acquire specialized knowledge about the shaping on international relations and the diverse theories and approaches that facilitates its explanation. As a result of learning the subject the student will be able to demonstrate the ability to outline and defend a vision of politics for the present and future generations with aid of democracy, justice, rights, freedom and secularism. Finally, the subject of political science helps us to analyze a phenomenon, an event or a construct with insight, knowledge, reasoning and technical skill by employing appropriate research methodology and draw original and logical conclusions.
The study of the subjects also helps to develop an understanding of the fundamental principles and theories of politics to include foundations of political community, the structure and process of government, citizenship and forms of political participation, and the public policy process. It will also support the learners to gain an understanding and appreciation of current political issues and concerns and their impact upon the contemporary political environment. The study of the subject helps to understand the decisions human beings make in political settings, including those regarding the forms of government available and understand the philosophical underpinnings of political systems, major ideologies, and political parties. Foster an understanding of political methodology and analysis and the ability to construct basic political theories used to explain political and governmental behaviour. Develop the ability to research, analyse, and evaluate political data and information and the ability to use information databases. Finally the learning of the subject helps the learner for effective and virtuous citizenship.
