In the previous unit we have read about the growth and evolution of Political Science. This unit will introduce us to the major approaches to the study of Political Science. However, before studying different approaches to Political Science, it must be remembered that Political Science is a branch of the larger area of social sciences and is different from natural sciences. The methods and approaches to the study of Political Science or other social sciences are, therefore, different from the methods that are used in natural sciences like physics, chemistry or biology. The various approaches to the study of Political Science can be broadly classified as - traditional and modern. The traditional approaches include philosophical, historical and institutional approaches while the modern approaches include behavioural approach, post-behavioural approach, systems approach, structural-functional approach, communication approach, etc.

Answer 2

The limitations included the study of human behaviour and dependency techniques.

• The approach is considered to be the most conventional one to Political Science analysis. It deals with the concerns of the state's existence and roles, citizenship, privileges and responsibilities, etc.
• There have been numerous critiques of the behavioural approach, such as a focus on approaches and strategies that disregard the subject matter.
• The proponents were incorrect as it was said that under similar situations, people behave in similar ways. In addition, researching human behavior and obtaining a conclusive result remained a challenging task.
• The majority of political phenomena can be unquantified. Therefore, the use of scientific methods in the study is often challenging. Moreover, as behaviouralists claim, the researcher being a human being is not necessarily value-neutral.
