"
ایسی بات کے اظہار سے ماہرِ مذاق کی طبیعتی طور پر بات کر رہے ہیں، جو زندگی کی انتہائی پیچیدہ اور غیر معینہ پہلووں کا تحلیل کرتے ہیں۔ وہ کہتے ہیں کہ اگرچہ کسی انسان کی زندگی کا مستقبل قطعی نہیں ہوتا، لیکن اکثر اوقات اس کی حیات اور کارکردگی کو کسی مخصوص طرح کا توصیف دیا جاتا ہے، جو اس کے کاموں، عملوں، اور انجامات کی بناوٹی خصوصیات پر مبنی ہوتا ہے۔ اس توصیف کے نتیجے میں، انسان کا نام اور شہرت قیامت تک عوام کی زبانوں میں رہتا ہے، جو ان کے عملوں اور کرداروں کی بنا پر مشتمل ہوتی ہے۔

BA Part I (Old Registration)
Solved Past Paper 2024

SOLUTION

Answer No.1:
The statement "Political Science begins and ends with the state" is a traditional view that emphasizes the central role of the state in the study of political science. This perspective asserts that the state is the primary unit of analysis and the focal point of political science inquiry.

Nature of the statement:
  • The statement reflects a state-centric approach, which prioritizes the study of the state and its institutions, processes, and policies.
  • It implies that the state is the primary actor in political life, and other entities, such as civil society, international organizations, and markets, are secondary or peripheral.

Scope of the statement:
  • The statement's scope is limited to a traditional understanding of political science, which focuses on the study of government, politics, and public policy within the context of the state.
  • It neglects other important aspects of political science, such as:
    * Political behavior and psychology
    * Comparative politics and international relations
    * Political economy and globalization
    * Political culture and identity.

Critique:
  • The statement is too narrow, as it overlooks the significance of non-state actors, global governance, and transnational phenomena in shaping political outcomes.
  • It fails to account for the changing nature of the state and its relationships with other entities in the modern political landscape.
  • The statement prioritizes the study of the state over other important areas of political science, such as political theory, public administration, and policy analysis.

In conclusion, the statement "Political Science begins and ends with the state" reflects a traditional, state-centric approach to political science. While the state remains an essential component of political science, the field has evolved to encompass a broader range of topics, actors, and perspectives, making the statement's scope and nature too limited and narrow.

Answer No. 2:
Here are the main features of Ibn Khaldun's theory of the Khilafat (Caliphate):
  • The State as an End in Itself:
    Ibn Khaldun views the state as an end in itself, with a life of its own, governed by the law of causality, a natural and necessary human institution.

  • Necessity of the State:
    The state is the political and social unit that alone makes human civilization possible.

  • Civilization and Politics:
    Ibn Khaldun's political theory is part of his description of ʿumrān, in the specific sense of “civilization”, which is synonymous with madanīya and ḥadāra, settled urban life.

  • Empiricism and Traditionalism:
    Ibn Khaldun's empiricism, manifest in his “new science”, is matched by his traditionalism, as he draws on Islamic civilization and its aspects.

  • The Caliphate as a Political Institution:
    Ibn Khaldun views the Caliphate as a political institution, which is part of his broader theory of the power-state and the study of civilization.

  • The Role of the Caliph: The Caliph should be a just and fair ruler, chosen for his wisdom and moral character, and responsible for upholding Islamic law and maintaining social justice.

  • The Caliphate and Social Order:

A political system refers to the set of institutions, structures, and processes that shape the political life of a society. It encompasses the formal and informal rules, norms, and procedures that govern political behavior, decision-making, and power distribution within a society.
System analysis is a method of studying political systems by examining their components, relationships, and interactions. This approach views the political system as a whole, rather than focusing on individual parts in isolation. System analysis involves:
  1. Identifying the components of the political system, such as:
    * Government institutions (executive, legislative, judicial)
    * Political parties and interest groups
    * Bureaucracy and public administration
    * Civil society and media

  2. Analyzing the relationships between these components, including:
    * Power dynamics and decision-making processes
    * Communication and feedback loops
    * Conflict and cooperation patterns

  3. Examining the inputs and outputs of the political system, including:
    * Public opinion and political culture
    * Policy decisions and implementation
    * Economic and social outcomes

  4. Evaluating the performance of the political system, considering factors such as:
    * Effectiveness and efficiency
    * Legitimacy and accountability
    * Stability and adaptability

  • David Easton, "A Systems Analysis of Political Life" (1965)
  • Gabriel Almond, "A Functional Approach to Comparative Politics" (1966)
  • Karl Deutsch, "The Nerves of Government" (1963)
These scholars developed the system analysis approach to political science, emphasizing the importance of understanding political systems as complex, interconnected wholes.

The judiciary safeguards the rights of minority groups, ensuring that they are not marginalized or oppressed by the majority.

8. Promoting Justice and Fairness:
