Study ob political Science ? 200 words​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Historical research has always been used to inform the study of politics, and historical analysis is a common thread through political theories from Plato to Habermas. Several traditions that take a historical approach to political executives can be discerned, including political history, historical patterning, hermeneutics, and historical institutionalism, though it has been the lattermost which has dominated in recent decades. This has made history as a foundation for political analysis considerably more methodical and robust, and has spawned important subfields, many of which have made valuable and influential contributions to the study of executive politics. That ‘history matters’ has been well-established, but how it matters is still an evolving subject of study, as methodological debates, idiosyncratic theories, and inconsistent analytical frameworks are still commonplace. Moreover, political history, once a flourishing tradition in executive politics, has declined in recent decades, exposing the complex relationship between political and historical disciplines.
