The expression ‘political theory’ or ‘a theory of politics’ is made up of two important words - " ‘Theory’ and ‘Politics’ ".Let us analyze the two terms "Theory" and "Political" separately.

What is Theory?

Thea: something seen, a ‘spectacle’, an occurrence.Theorein: to look at, to observe what is going on.Theoros: an intelligent observer; one who looks at what isgoing on, asks himself questions about it and tries tounderstand it.Theoria: the act or procedure of seeking to understandwhat is going on: ‘theorizing’.Theorema: what may emerge from ‘theorizing’. A conclusionreached by a theoros. ‘An understanding’ of whatis going on. A ‘theorem’.Thus,theory is a language-dependent systematic expression which distinguishes itself with the following six features:Conceptual SensitivityRational StructureAspiration for humanly achievable truth and objectivityGeneralityAn explicit mandate to unearth assumptions and presuppositionsStrong non-speculative intent - the need not to bypass results of micro-enquiries into the particularWhat is Political?

What is Political Theory?

On the basis of the above definitions,we can conclude that political theory is concerned with the study of the phenomena of the state and related institutions both in philosophical and empirical terms.Political theory then is a particular form of word-dependent systematic reflection on any or all of the following:The collective power to take decisions about the good life of a communityThe mechanisms by which power is exercised by one group over anotherThe use of state power to achieve the good of the communityThe use of state by one group to exercise power over anotherOn the values of which a particular community governs its lifeThere can be a grand political theory that reflects on the general condition of the entire human kind or the values by which the entire humanity may govern its life.Characteristics of political theoryThe characteristics of political theory are the following:Firstly,political theory is an intellectual and moral creation of man.Generally it is the speculation of a single individual who is attempting to offer us a theoretical explanation of the political reality i.e. the phenomena of the state.Every theory by its nature is an explanation,built upon certain hypothesis which may be valid(or not) and which are always open to criticism.Secondly,political theory contains an explanation of man,society and history.It probes the nature of man and society: how a society is made up and how it works,what are the important elements,what are the sources of conflict in the society and how they can be resolved.Thirdly,political theory is discipline based.It means that though the phenomena which the theorist seeks to explain remain the same i.e. the state,the writer may be a philosopher,historian,economist,theologian or a sociologist.Thus we are confronted by a variety of political theories each distinguished by a discipline on which it is based.Fourthly,political theory is also actively engaged in hastening the process of history.The task of political theory is also to devise ways and means to change the society -"The task is not merely one of description of what it is but also a prescription of what ought to be."- LaskiThus political theory recommends agencies of action as well as means of reform,revolution or conservation.It contains programmes that embody both ends and means.5. Lastly,political theory also includes political ideology.Ideology in simple language means a system of beliefs,values and ideals by which people allow themselves to be governed.Political theory in the form of political ideology includes a system of political values,institutions and practices which a society has adopted as its ideal.E.g. All political theories adopted by the Western Europe and America have been dominated by liberalism and the theories accepted by China and erstwhile USSR were influenced by a particular brand of Marxism.Each brand of theory or ideology in this senseclaims for itself the attributes of universality and compels others to accept,leading to what is generally known as "ideological conflicts".Nature and significance of political theoryThe nature and significance of political theory can be derived from the purpose it serves or supposed to serve and the task performed by it.The growth and evolution of the nature and significance of political theory can be classified into three basic periods or forms:Classical Political Theory:This form was majorly dominated by philosophy.It was the systematic approach to know about the best form of government and society.Its aim was to establish a rational basis for beliefs and action.It studied state as a whole and treated an individual as a part of it.It was not merely concerned with explaining and understanding the political phenomena but also evaluating it and thriving for an ideal state.It tries to analyse sources of conflicts,anarchy,instability and attempts to enunciate principles of justice.Modern Political Theory: It is value free.It is only concerned with understanding and explanation of problem without evaluating its nature,suggesting suggestions etc.It is based on facts and data and does not consider values for its study.It is empirical in its approach.Contemporary Empirical Political Theory:Due to its highly empirical(scientific) and data based approach,modern political theory soon started getting criticism because people believed in the role of political theory as a guide to government for the proper functioning of the state.Thus,contemporary empirical political theory is a combination of both philosophical as well as scientific understanding of a problem.The nature and significance of political theory can be understood in the following way:Essentially descriptive studies i.e. description of political phenomenaNon-Scientific (based upon philosophy or religion ) or Scientific explanation (based upon empirical studies)Proposals for the selection of political goals and political actionMoral JudgmentAnalytical studies based on information and factsInterdisciplinary study & Study of information factorsBehavioural revolution and acceptance of values by the post of behaviouralistsConclusion
