Discursivity in Political Science. Introduction

According to discursive politcal science, the reality of politics is constructed in and through discourses, and likewise its changing is also a result of discourses. Therefore, the subject of discursive political science are not “political discourses” but politics as discourse(s). This difference marks a theoretical distinction: while the former term assumes that discourses are one element of politics among other non-discursive ones, the later defines politics as a solely discursive reality.
