Political Science is a study of the struggle for power. The political world is very often a rough and tumble world of deceit, subterfuge, skullduggery, covertness, war, half truths and mythology -- but it is also a world of ethics and law. Indeed, without the 'rule of law' there can be no democracy in the liberal sense of 'democracy', as we know it in the West, even if we all agree that democracy may be a very imperfect system. —M. R.
