Political science is a core social science that studies the distribution of political power, national governance, ideology and international relations, aiming to cultivate students' understanding of the underlying logic of "how power operates, how systems are formed and how policies are formulated". The curriculum system integrates theoretical speculation with empirical analysis, exploring not only the philosophical proposition of "what is justice" but also the practical issue of "how the electoral system affects the political party landscape", helping students master the core abilities of analyzing political phenomena and participating in public affairs.
