Mike (mcg1) | 35 comments I want the group to be as focused as possible, so I've targeted eight main subjects of political science for study:

Political Theory - philosophy and political theory topics
Comparative Politics - comparisons of political institutions and practices
Public Administration - the inner workings and theories of government bodies
Rhetoric and Political Behavior - what makes candidates, officials, and voters do what they do
International Relations - relations between sovereign states and international bodies
Public Law - public and administrative law, the court system, etc.
Political Methodology - political research methods
Political Fiction/Lit - fiction or dramatized books that touch on politics, dystopian and utopian fiction, etc.
