The core problem
Political science is inherently interdisciplinary, relying on various social sciences to comprehend political phenomena. This study explores the nature of political science as a multidisciplinary subject through a literature review and research articles. The objective is to highlight how political science draws upon other disciplines for its theory and methodology, emphasizing that political phenomena cannot be fully understood in isolation.
Innovation
A qualitative and interpretive approach is adopted, utilizing only theoretical knowledge without any data collection process. This method allows for a comprehensive synthesis of existing literature to demonstrate the interconnections between political science and other social sciences.
Introduction
Political science is inherently interdisciplinary, relying on various social sciences to comprehend political phenomena. This study explores the nature of political science as a multidisciplinary subject through a literature review and research articles. The objective is to highlight how political science draws upon other disciplines for its theory and methodology, emphasizing that political phenomena cannot be fully understood in isolation.
Why it matters
The findings underscore that political science cannot be fully understood in a vacuum. A comprehensive understanding of political phenomena requires interdisciplinary analysis involving history, economics, sociology, anthropology, psychology, public health, demography, geography, cultural studies, international relations, law, and public administration. This interconnectedness highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in political science research and education.
