This book
meets the challenges coming up before Political Science of the Twenty-first
Century in the form of Globalisation, Global Governance, Feminism, Contemporary
Terrorism, State Supremacy, Democracy, and Human Rights. In the light of the
latest developments, it tries to explain, analyse and evaluate them to
reformulate contemporary ‘political theory’. It first takes up substantive
studies of Political Behaviouralism, Power, Influence, Authority and
Legitimacy, Modernisation and Development, Political Ideologies and Political
Cultures, and Feminine Political Theory. Along with Systems and
Structural-Functional Approaches as theories-in-making, the book, then, looking
into the proper relationship among Values, Theory and Methodology, strives to transform
conventional “Political Science” into rechristened “Politicology.” To serve the
global market, the author has discovered ‘applied’ aspects of the discipline in
form of new professions of ‘Political Engineering’ and ‘Political
Technologies’. The book, in this manner, undertakes the task of evolving an
“Advanced Modern Political Theory.” Till the scholars are able to realise this
goal, they are advised, in its place, to empirically make use of the devices of
‘Analysis’ and ‘Explanation’, and continue striving for it.
This book is
likely to benefit teachers, scholars, researchers, and students of not only
Political Science but also other Social Sciences.
