The Relationships Between Government, Politics, Democracy And Power
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Defining the relationships that exist between and among government, politics, democracy and power is a task that draws its conclusion upon a very fine line. Indeed, while all four of these entities have something significant to do with one another, at the same time they each possess their own particular arrangement within the wide and varied scheme of bureaucratic function. It can be argued that one needs the combination of power and government in order to enact any level of politics; however, it can also be contended that there does not necessarily have to exist any sort of democratic considerations as a means by which to operate that government. This specific point speaks to the concept of power and authoritarianism, rather than power and democracy as it is in the United States of America. The writer discusses the relationship of these four entities. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

The State of the Discipline of Political Science
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing the state of the discipline of political science. Since the time of Aristotle, political science has been a discipline that has been used to study man and the state. Originally political science was based on philosophical theory much of it which was based on man’s natural knowledge. Within the last two centuries, political science has continued to study philosophy based on the state and the study of constitutional government. Within the last fifty years however, the discipline has been severed into various areas, the most published of which is that which leans towards a more “scientific” approach involving quantitative research. Leo Strauss recognized the development of this trend and tried to warn against it in the 1950s trying to bring the discipline back toward a broader philosophical approach. Many political scientists today also believe that in order to preserve the discipline a broader more historical philosophical approach should be used in which other cross disciplines should be included rather than subdividing the discipline further in an attempt to gain academic recognition.
