Up to the Second World War (1939-45), Political Science was mainly, even exclusively, concerned with the political conditions air problems of the peoples and nations of Europe and North America, why the peoples and countries of Asia, Africa and South America, bier conquered, ruled and dominated by the imperialisms and colonialisms of the West, were regarded as mere appendages of their European masters.
After the World War II, when almost all the countries and nations of the Third World became independent and sovereign States and when virtually the whole globe came to be divided between the two Blocs, the Soviet an American, with their endless rivalries and “cold war”, and when the rape means of communications and travel brought the distant parts and region of the world together, the science of politics had to take into consideration far wider areas and countries of the world than it had done-ever in the earlier ages. Political Science has become Comparative Politics, whir studies also the conditions and developments in the developing countries oil the Third World, which are in many ways greatly, even radically, differed from those of the developed countries of the West.
For instance, in the Third World, countries, the family and other kinship groups, like tribes and castes, exercise far more rigid control on the individual life and behavior than in the West; or women, the half of their populations, are dominated b men and denied many rights and opportunities by the men; or, the attitude of the peoples of the Third world countries towards their political rulers often one of dependency and subservience, expecting their governments do this or that for them, but never trying to do things by themselves; or the political allegiance and loyalty towards the State is often of les significance than their loyalty and allegiance to parochial groups, such tribes, clans, castes or local communities.
Moreover, the ethnic, racial religious differences have produced the concept of “nationality” in some these new nations, which is a disintegrative force in them. Anyway, in Third World countries and nations, political scientists have to keep in vi their cultural and religious life along with their political condition relations and developments.
In view of these differences, can there be universal Political Science, which would explain all these diversities belief and attitude? Are there not two or more Political Sciences? Such the problem with which Political Science is confronted today. Moreover the rise of the Soviet Union, Communist China and other common’ countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America has confront Political Science with the problems of totalitarianism and democracy, why are further complicated by the movements towards liberalization
