Political science seeks to understand and analyze the exercise of power at international, national, state, and local levels. Penn's Political Science department offers courses in the major political subfields of American government and politics, comparative politics, international relations, and political theory. Each section of this guide includes listings of resources used in these four major political science subfields, as well as other selected subfields taught in most political science curriculums.
The University of Pennsylvania's Political Science Department course offerings span the discipline of political science, from American political institutions to the politics of world regions, the emergence of a new international order, and recent and ancient political ideas.
