Summary

Introduction

Political science is the study of the art of government, public interaction, compromise, consensus, and the power and distribution of resources in public affairs (Winarno, 2013). In the philosophy of science, a scientific discipline is likely to have the same object of study as other sciences but has differences in its form (Syafiie, 2017). Political science has adopted many other social sciences (material objects). Many studies have explored the history of political science (Craig, 2020). Hood, King, and Peele (2014) describe how the development of politics at the University of Oxford, where the book examines institutions, plantations, funding, research, and curricula that are organized into broader intellectual and institutional development
