At the University of Illinois, instruction in the field of political science is divided into five areas. These are American Politics, Public Policy, Comparative Politics, Political Theory (or Political Philosophy) and International Relations. Each of these areas, or subfields, addresses some issues of political systems and political life. As students grow in their understanding and take more advanced courses, they learn how ideas, concepts and theories from one area relate to those in another.The Department of Political Science offers a major -- with choices of two concentrations -- and two different minors. There is the political science general major and minor, and there is the political science major with a concentration in civic leadership and a minor in political and civic leadership. Students will be able to apply central concepts of the scientific method to the study of politics, and demonstrate an ability to draw inferences from data.Students will have a foundational knowledge of facts, concepts, and typologies in their chosen subfield in political science. Students will be able to demonstrate basic knowledge of central theories in their chosen subfield and show how to evaluate those theories. Students will be able to define political science and its subfields, drawing contrasts with other social sciences.The World Politics concentration compares internal political dynamics of and patterns of political behavior in the world's more than 200 countries. Major comparative themes include democracy, dictatorship and regime change, political institutions (parties, elections, and decision-making), voting behavior, attitudes, and the creation and dissemination of political information, religious and ethnic identity politics, political economy of development and developing countries, social change and political violence, and the impact of globalization and transnational forces such as migration.
