is divided into nine parts, namely Antecedents, the rise and fall of
Roman empire, the middle ages, South Asia, East Asia, West Asia,
the Renaissance, the enlargement and modern political science.

1) Antecedents

At this time political science was a science that was late in


terms of social science. But the discipline has a clear foundation
such as moral philosophy, political philosophy, political theology,
history and others with a normative determination of what should be
in an ideal country. Western political antecedents can trace their
roots back to Plato (427-347 BC) and Aristotle (384-322 BC),
especially in the works of Homer, Hesiod, Thucydides, Xenophon,
and Euripides. Later, Plato analyzed the political system, abstracting
their analysis to include historical empirical evidence in his analysis.
Plato wrote The Republic and Aristotle the strategy of writing the
Politics the team The rise and fall of the Roman empire During the
height of the Roman Empire, famous historians such as Polybius,
Livy and Plutarch documented the rise of the Roman Republic, and
the organizations and histories of other countries
2) The middle ages

With the fall of the western Roman empire a broader arena


emerged for political studies. The emergence of monotheism and,
especially for Western traditions, Christianity brought a new light to
politics and political action. Works such as Augustine from Hippo
the City of God fused philosophy today and were religious and what
was political. Arabs lost sight of Aristotle's political science.

3) South asia
South Asia especially in ancient India Chanakya (around 350-
275 BC) was a pilitic thinker who discussed monetary and fiscal
policy, welfare, international relations, and war strategies in
detail among other topics.

In East Asia especially in China is a place where many people
think about polotic who are competent and competing with each
other. These include mohism, aoism, legalism and confucianism
which eventually became the dominant political philosophy in
China during their period. Persia Bayak works such as Rubaiyat
Omar Khayyam and the epic of kings by Ferdow gave a thought
or analysis of politics. Aristotle of averroe did not have a hand
of political texts.

In the Renaissance era in Italy, Niccolo Machiavelli as a thinker
about political science that emphasizes modern political science
on direct empirical observations of political institutions and
actors For Machiavelli, it seems that nothing is too good or too
evil if it helps to achieve and maintain political power.
In the age of enlightenment where religion is no longer the main
benchmark in politics. In 1787, Alexander Hamilton wrote: "...
Political science like most other sciences has received a big
increase."
6) Moderen political science
Because political science is basically a case study that
examines behavior or human behavior, in all aspects of politics,
and observations in a constrained environment. This is because
political scientists agree to look for patterns in reason and results
for political events so that new theories can be made . . The
American Political Science Association founded in 1903 and the
American Political Science Review was founded in 1906 in an
effort to distinguish to achieve and preserve political expansion
outside of political studies from economics and other social
phenomena.
