Write a note on the growth of the Discipline of Political Science?

Answer 1

"Growth of the Discipline of Political Science

Politics was first considered as a subject and it was studied by two Greek personalities namely Plato and Aristotle. In the fifteenth century, Niccolo Machiavelli, the Italian political thinker, began the convention of contemplating existing and chronicled political organizations. It denoted a change from the established and Christian conventions of political reasoning.        

Another milestone in the development of "Political Science" was the foundation to the school of "Political Science" in the Columbia University during the activity of "John. W. Burgess" in 1880. It was known as "the Faculty of Political Science". In 1886 this school initiated the Political Science Quarterly which was the principal academic diary of Political Science as a discipline.

The foundation of "Johns Hopkins University" in 1876 was an achievement in the development of Political Science. The foundation of the "American Political Science Association" in 1903 gave a lift towards the reinforcing of "Political Science" as a discipline."
