In spite of this close affinity between Sociology and Political Science, the study of both the sciences is distinct and their problems are by no means the same. Giddings has said that the province of Political Science is not co-extensive with “the investigations of society but that the lines of demarcation can be drawn.” Sociology deals with man in all his varied social relations and in all froms of human association. Its study is not confined to one aspect of man alone. Political Science, on the other hand, is a study of the political governance of man and it is a specialized branch of Sociology. It has a narrower and more restricted field to cover than Sociology. Secondly, the political life of man begins much later than his social life. Sociology is prior to Political Science. Thirdly, Sociology embraces the study of organized and unorganized communities and the conscious activities of man. The province of Political Science is the politically organized society and conscious political activities of man. Finally, Political Science aims at the past, present and future determination of the Political organization of mankind whereas Sociology is the study of various social institutions that existed. It does not and cannot predict about the future of society and social relationships. Its study is empirical and has no philosophical trend to follow. The distinction between Political Science and Sociology has been aptly described by Ernest Barker. He says, “Political theory only deals with political associations, united by a constitution and living under a government ; sociology deals with all associations. Political theory assumes as a datum that man is a political being, it does not explain, as sociology seeks to do, how he came to be a political being.”
