Political Science

INTRODUCTION
Course Overview
Admission Requirements

The former approach to the study of Political Science was largely legalistic, traditional and historical hence the justification for the title Government. The contemporary approach to the study, particularly in the higher institution, centres on empiricism, systems approach, the study of political actors, the environment of political system etc. The emphasis is now on systemization of political data and analysis. The new approach justifies the use of the title Political Science. As a teaching subject its philosophy is based on the fact that knowledge of Political Science is an indispensable factor for the realization of a democratic/stable and enduring political system. It is a useful instrument for citizenship as well as for changing negative socio-political values, attitudes and norms. The study of Political Science promotes international understanding and co-operation, mutual assistance, the values of Pan-Africanism and African nationalism.
