Revised Syllabus of
Two-Years’ Post-graduate Degree Course (Master of Arts)

(A) OBJECTIVES

Political Science as a discipline of study is basically known as the science of

ruling and the study of the rulers and the ruled. Traditionally, it covered the study
of man in the process of governing himself. Today, Political Science is known as
the Master of Social Sciences. It encompasses the study of Man in relation to the
State, Society, Nation and the World. It deals with not merely the structure of
governments and administration and study of political theories that hold sway
over human life, rights and duties of the citizens, but also the developmental
processes. Political Science has today entered into various realms and touched
many horizons. It has assumed an inter-disciplinary character. The subject
matter of Political science is changing fast and so we need to rely on new
conceptual instruments that allow us a better understanding of political
phenomena. Similarly we need to explore new tools for analysis within the

and concepts are useful for an increasingly complex world. A student of Political
Science cannot remain oblivious of the processes of every decision-making and
