CONTENT SUMMARY

Course Description:Political Science for students of law serves both as a baseline

subject and as an auxiliary discourse.Synergizing political science with law as a precursor
for understanding provides students a framework to understand statecraft, state practice
and relevance of law in governing a state. Political science is a scientific evaluation of
state and the many functions it performs. It also provides foundations to how state and its
legal structure has evolved. To teach political science as a core subject for students of law
would therefore, require to select fundamentals of political science that guide students to
statecraft and also to link it with other important disciplines.

SECTION ONE: CLASSICAL POLITICAL SCIENCE

Before political science could be classified as a social ‘science’ it required certain

philosophical dimensions. States, city-states more precisely, during their nascent phases
were more inclined to self-governance via natural laws. State laws were mostly ‘dictates’
passed by ‘political elite’ and public participation under an elitist system was
marginalized.
