What are types of political scientists?

Political Science can be defined in several ways. The consensus of the vast majority of political scientists terms itself as the study of governments and how they work. From that starting point the political scientist can be involved with other areas within this field.

Note: Many people are under the assumption that a political scientist is all about elections and politicians. This does not go to the heart of what political science is all about at all.

Also, political science is normally studied at the collegiate level.

Here are some examples of what political scientists study and publish books about:

A. The study of governments of the past & present; this entails the study of history, political philosophy, and geo-political situations.

B. Political science also interacts with economics and sociology;

C. Political scientists may be generalists or specialize in national & international politics;

D. Political scientists may also specialize in a single country's government or study a vast array of governments;

E. Political scientists are not "election" specialists, but they may be consulted about how a government structure may lend itself to certain electorate behaviors;

F. As the subject of the question relates to types of political scientists, one can not overlook that a central type is a professor who teaches political science.
