Political Science
Political science is best defined in comparison to political philosophy: one attempts to understand politics from first principles, reasoned outward, in a coherent and consistent theory; the other attempts to understand politics from observations and theories of what explains the variance therein. This page addresses the latter.
Comparative Politics
Pretty much everything where states are the unit of analysis.
Political Parties and Movements
Comparative politics methods applied to non-states. There is some overlap with public choice theory (esp. institutional design).
Public Choice and Social Choice Theory
Public choice and social choice are highly interconnected. In general, public choice seeks to be strictly positive, while social choice leans into philosophy and normative study. Like, 'given a voting system, which agent has most control' vs. 'what is the most fair voting system'. But the theorists fundamentally speak the same language, and it's more coherent to group them together by field of study.
