Government is divided into four categories. These are particular governments, government activities, structure of government, and law.

Institutions

Particular governments

This includes studies of various levels of government, including local, national, and international governments and governing organizations.

Government activities

This has been, for now, divided into three general categories: state relations, administration, and succession.

Government structure

Government structure includes such subjects as political parties, judicial, legislative, and executive bodies, heads of state, and forms of government.

Law

This is divided into sections on Tribal law, Asiatic law, Western law, and International law.


History The history of particular governments, government activities, government structure, and law is one of several important approaches to the study of government. Developments of prehistory, antiquity, classical and medieval history, and modern history can be considered, and limited projections into the future can be made.
