Political Science is a triannual peer-reviewed academic journal covering political science. It was established at Victoria University of Wellington in 1948 and remains New Zealand's sole professional journal of political science. It is published by Taylor and Francis and has a broadly comparative or international approach, with a particular focus on the Asia-Pacific region.
“It is difficult to see why the most advantageous political system, for the present, would not be a democratic state with an artistocratic government, provided only the artistocracy be that of real merit, and not of artificial qualities. If this be not the real principle of the republican form of government then I must confess that I do not know what its principle is.”
“Today political science is often said to be ‘descriptive’ or ‘empirical,’ concerned with facts; political philosophy is called ‘normative’ because it expresses values. But these terms merely repeat in more abstract form the difference between political science, which seeks agreement, and political philosophy, which seeks the best.”
“Apart from economics and geography, it is hard to find a social science that has given less attention to religion than political science.”
“The method of political science is the interpretation of life; its instrument is insight, a nice understanding of subtle, unformulated conditions.”
