在人類世界當中，「權力與資源的分配」是不可或缺的重要課題；這也表示「政治」無處不在。從廣義的角度而論，政治學旨在探討配置權力與資源的相關議題，包括行為者、制度、思維、以及行動模式等。本課程的目標是引領學生認識政治學的內涵及重要概念，以期培養政治視野。課程內容涵蓋以下主題：一，理論和意識形態；二，主權國家和失敗國家；三，民主、憲政與政體；四，政治態度與互動；五，資源配置的遊戲規則及制度；六，國際關係。只要對政治學感興趣，無論是否有基礎，均歡迎選修本課程。

In the human world, "the allocation of power and resources" is an indispensable and important topic; this also means that "politics" is gone. From a broad perspective, politics aims to explore the related issues of allocation power and resources, including actors, institutions, thinking, and action patterns. The purpose of this course is to guide students to understand the connotation and important concepts of political science, in order to cultivate political vision. The course content covers the following topics: 1. Theory and ideological form; 2. The dominant country and the failed country; 3. Democracy, political affairs and politics; 4. Political attitude and interaction; 5. Game rules and systems for resource allocation; 6. International relations. As long as you are interested in politics, you are welcome to choose this course regardless of whether there is a foundation.

本課程試圖幫助學習者深入瞭解政治事務。一方面回顧長期累積的重要概念；另一方面試圖說明這些概念和21世紀初期真實世界間的關聯性，並試圖從實證角度闡明政治結構和運作過程。其中包括個人政治信念和作為，以及團體和國家的變化情形。

This course test picture helps learners gain insight into political affairs. On the one hand, we will review the important concepts of long-term accumulation; on the other hand, we will explain the correlation between these concepts and the real world in the early 21st century, and try to clarify the political structure and operation process from a practical perspective. This includes personal political beliefs and roles, as well as changes in groups and countries.
