Political Science

.............................................................................................................................
Description
Politics is not only the 'Master Science' but also the 'Mother Science of Law'. Laws tend to be a reflection of a particular political structure. The legal system has to keep pace with changes in political system of the State and the pattern of that community. The State which is the central theme of political science, functions through law and thus Political Science and Law are closely related. All the legal persons such as Advocates should have the theoretical knowledge of Political Science. This might be the reason for the inclusion of 'Political Science' as a subject for the Law Degree Course. This volume is the result of an attempt to present all the relevant topics of the syllabi of Bar Council of India and different Indian Universities basing on the books referred to in the Bibliography. The author expresses his profound gratitude to the eminent authors and publishers of the books referred to. The author is also thankful to the publishers Allahabad Agency for bringing out this book in an attractive form. Suggestions from the readers for the improvement are welcome and will be gratefully acknowledged.
