History of political science

While the study of politics is first found in ancient Greece and ancient India, political science is a late arrival in terms of social scieces. However, the discipline has a clear set of antecedents such as amoral,political philosophy, political economy history, and other fields concerned with normatve determinations of what ought to be and with deducing the characteristics and functions of the ideal state. In each historic period and in almost every geographic area, we can find someone studying politics and increasing political understanding.
