1.5.6 Do it in English:
Термин «политология» образуется путем сочетания двух греческих слов 'polity' (это означало политический порядок, способ осуществления власти) и 'logos' (знание). Поэтому политология определяется как наука о политике. Политология — отрасль знания о политике, законах структуры, функционирования и развития политической жизни государства и общества. Объектом политологии выступает политическая жизнь людей, социальных общностей, составляющих государство и общество. Как научная дисциплина политология является синонимом политической науки. Целью политической науки является приобретение нового знания о политической реальности. Политология представляет систему развивающихся знаний, состоящую из общей теории политологии, прикладной (applied) политологии и истории политической мысли. Основой политологии является учение о власти. Она также включает в себя анализ структур и механизмов функционирования политических систем, взаимодействие их отдельных элементов, в первую очередь государства и политических партий. Важным аспектом политологии является взаимодействия политических систем с гражданским обществом. На основе знания политических процессов политология вырабатывает определенные методы и нормы политической деятельности. Изучение политики важно для понимания гражданами своего места и роли в современном обществе.
