In the last two decades, political theory has emerged as a discipline in its own right, separate from political philosophy and the history of political thought, although its character has not yet been clearly demonstrated. In this regard, this book tries to explain the links between political theory, political philosophy analysis and social sciences. The problem is even more interesting because in this effort, on the one hand, there is an assumption that it is impossible to draw strict boundaries between these disciplines, but on the other hand, there is also an opinion that political theory is characterized by its attention to the relationship between ideas and social change. It doesn't stop there, it also displays a number of methodological problems in political theory, including the role of political theory in uncovering history, the use of linguistic analysis to understand political ideas, the relationship between political theory and ideology, and the thesis that the concept of politics is a concept whose foundation is still needs to be questioned. From the concept of power to the concept of the state, from the concept of nationality to the concept of democracy and government, everything is studied and reviewed. So, what is certain is that readers will not only be treated to sharpness of analysis, but also to diversity of thought.
