POLITICAL SCIENCE<br />
Political science is the study of political philosophies,<br />
processes, principles, and the structures of government<br />
and other political institutions. This academic discipline<br />
leads toward an understanding of the institutions of<br />
political ideologies, institutions of government, the roles<br />
of citizens and political leaders, interest groups and<br />
political parties, the electoral process, and contemporary<br />
issues that surround our public life. This field<br />
also includes an analysis of governments around the<br />
world and of international relations.<br />
