Department Summary Political Science is the study of how humans relate to one another and the systems of power and institutions of rule we construct in order to arrange our collective lives. These institutions can be formal like electoral systems, or international courts, or the various branches of governmental power; but they can also be informal and include the cultural practices of diverse ethnic groups, the public contestation of beliefs and values, and everyday forms of collective participation ranging from sporting activities, to political activism, to digital networking and beyond. What these diverse expressions of political activity share is an acknowledgment of the fact that we are many and that in order for the many to live peacefully with one another we must innovate ways to negotiate forms of power. The UCLA Department of Political Science has expertise in every important aspect of political life, both domestic and international. In the 1950s, UCLA experts developed the cold war doctrine of deterrence. Since the 1970s, UCLA has led the development of understanding of political change and economic development in the nations of Europe, Africa, Latin America, and Asia. More recently, UCLA pioneered the study of Race and Ethnicity in US politics, in developing countries, and in political thought. Our department was an early leader in the application of statistics and game theory to the study of politics. Other current areas of strength include the study of corruption, inequality, the consequences of oil wealth, the politics of trade, political theories of representation, U.S. campaigns and party politics, and design-based inference. Scholars in all of these fields regularly publish in top academic journals, consult with governments and businesses, write in local and national newspapers and blogs, and regularly appear on television and radio to offer expertise for public circulation. We are committed to increasing our understandings of politics.
