Description
What is Government in Political Science? What precisely does it cover? These are some of the
questions that spring to the mind of thee student faced with a choice of study at the university or college in the
social and humanistic sciences. Political Science is an unknown field to the first-year student who has had
nothing to do with it at high school, and the first thing we have to do is to define and explain what the term
‘government’ covers.
At first glance, the question seems a simple one, and one likely to give little trouble to anyone
acquainted with the subject. Yet, the fact is that despite centuries of scientific investigation and inquiry into the
nature of government, no satisfactory definition has yet been suggested. This journal article makes a
contribution to define and explain the term ‘government’
