"The author of this book is well aware of the availability of many texts on introductory course to political science written by local and foreign authors. But a majority of these texts are (in the opinion of the author) best suited to students of English-speaking countries, while the others (modesty aside) lack scientific presentation and need updating to keep abreast with new political developments. The author wants to present the subject, Introduction to Political Science, to the students in a simplified and comprehensive form but in a scientific manner. This is the reason why the course is divided into three main parts: Part I deals on the preliminaries of political science; Part II delves on everything about internal politics of the state; and Part III, which deals on the aspects of relations of states." --
