Abstract

            A wide range of approaches and strategies are employed by political scientists as tools for their analysis and comprehension of political phenomena. With the aid of these resources, scholars can collect factual data, put theories to the test, and create insights into political processes and systems. Researchers can address difficult societal issues, contribute to policy decisions, and further the objectives of social justice and democratic governance by using political science tools. Thus, the purpose of this study is to analyze political science tools.  This study follows the methodological foundations of political science by offering an in-depth analysis of the theoretical framework and methodological tools of the discipline. Along with a detailed evaluation of the pros and cons. by providing insights for the ongoing discussion on best practices and future directions in this field. The findings found that; Political science tools include; (1) Acquiring power tools, (2) Government power-using tools, (3) the Socialization process, and (4) the Impact of politics and government.
