2. MEANINGS OF POLITICAL SCIENCE: The word "political" is derived from "polis," meaning "city" or "city-state."

By counting and analyzing data, researchers can make informed predictions about election outcomes and understand the impact of policies. • Behavioral Method: The behavioral approach in political science studies how individuals and groups behave in politics. Examining voter choices and political participation helps understand how people influence political decisions and shape the course of government actions. • Development Method: The development method focuses on a nation's progress, exploring how political decisions impact economic growth and social well-being.
