Ringkasan program

This program is the study of governments and activities related to them. Governments range from modern states and international organizations to institutions and groups in the everyday lives of ordinary people. This program explains that Political scientists are interested in the origins of and the preconditions for governments, the growth and evolution of governments, and the decline of governments. Political scientists also are interested in how governments are structured, how governments make decisions, as well as the content of the decisions, and how governments manage societal conflicts. In addition, true to their oldest academic traditions, political scientists retain their concern with the fundamental question of how governments ought to be constituted. Political scientists usually study broad topics through specific subfields such as: political parties and voting behavior, interest groups, bureaucracies and administrative procedures, international politics and organization, executive politics and legislative behavior, courts and the administration of justice, intergovernmental relations, political socialization and political recruitment, political personality, mass movements and revolutions, political philosophy, community organization and urban politics, policy studies, comparative political systems, research methodology. The study of political science has value in several different ways. More than a minimum knowledge of the function of political systems ought to be acquired by those who expect to have jobs that will make them 'representatives' of the political system itself. Thus, anyone expecting to enter a career in business, teaching, civil service, the military, law enforcement, or law has some social responsibility to obtain an education in the nature of governmental processes. There are some careers for which an extensive training in political science can be most useful. This is true especially for those planning to seek careers in higher education, the legal profession, state and local government, urban planning, the federal bureaucracy, journalism, or in any of the organizations that seek to monitor the political processes or to influence the content of public policy. Political science, like its sister fields within the arts and sciences, should help any student develop reasoning and analytical skills and build competence in oral and written expression.
