Relationship of political science with history and sociology.

Political science and history

There is closed and intimate relationship between political science and history. The relationship between political science and history is beautifully explained by.

John Seeley

History without political science has no fruit and political science without history has no root”. To quote the same author again.
Politics is vulgar when not liberalized by history and history fades into mere literature when it loses sight of its relation to politics.

Freeman

History is past politics and politics is present history “. They are complementary to each other.

Montesquieu and Bryce

Montesquieu and Bryce made use of historical materials to study political science.

Lord Bryce

Lord Bryce claims that, political science stands midway between history and politics, between the past and the present. It has drawn its materials from the one; it has to apply them to the other.
History deals with past events, movements revolutions, national struggles etc. and gives information about the origin and development of political institutions and thought. When various issues, concepts and terms, ideologies, are discussed in political science, their historical development is also taken into consideration.

Political science and sociology

Sociology is the root of all social sciences. Auguste Comte is the father of sociology. Sociology is the study of Society. Political science and sociology are inter-related political scientists and sociologists contribute mutually for the benefit of whole society. For example, the institution of marriage and related problems after that, namely divorce are within the domain of sociology. How to solve these problems in a harmonious way for better standard of life is within the competence of political science. What was once a sub-field of sociology has now takes the form of “political sociology” which is now a legitimate subfield of political science.
