I have always been in a quandry of area of specialization that stand out in the discipline of political science, as of now, am yet to be convinced on the best line to follow owing to the fact that political science is not short of varying rich fields of interest viz: Political Economy, Comparative Politics, Interbational Relations, Public Administration, Political Thought/Philosophy etc. My mind is always drifting towards no other area other than comparative politics. But I want like minded political scientist to lay bare,their view on this little matter. Thanxz in anticipation!!!!

if you're considering going into academics, political thought /philosophy is a sure bet of getting lecturing job.
it is quite hard, and as such people don't do it.
in my school ABU, only one lecturer teaches political thought, when he went on sabbatical leave , they had to invite a lecturer from udus to take the course.

Well, you are right.
But becoming an expert in any sub field of political science requires one to have PhD in that area.
Or what's your thought?

yeah, most of the entry requirement for lecturing, aside from graduate assistance is PhD.
but i bet you'll have to be employed first, before you think of going for PhD in this part of the world.
