Question

what does political history deal with

Answer 1

In every polity there are citizens for whom the strain, expense and danger of political activism are outweighed by public spirit, family tradition, desire for wealth or status, or an urge to get things (and other people) sorted out – what we loosely call the pursuit of power. The historian concentrates on these political leaders, and wants to know the modus operandi – how each man gets himself elected, how he gets his way in the council or assembly, what advantages he has over his rivals, whether a persuasive tongue or a charismatic presence outweighs wealth, patronage or a devoted retinue.

The dangers of ignoring practical questions are graphically illustrated by the political interpreters of the Roman Republic. In the nineteenth century, historians saw a two-party system of nobles and populares; in the twentieth, they have seen 'factions' based on aristocratic families and their allies. Both models presuppose cooperation in pursuit of common ends as the norm in a polity where political life, and the traditional ethos of the political leaders, depended on competition and rivalry. Of course there were sometimes alliances, but they were temporary and ad hoc; of course there were sometimes great issues which divided the political elite, but never into 'parties' in any sense even approximately analogous to what modern English means by the term.
