Political science framework based on quantum approach
Abstract
Research issues in the political sciences are becoming increasingly complex. The contemporary era, which is inspired by postmodernism, integration and complexity of knowledge, has created special conditions in research methods, issues and approaches. The transition from Newtonian physics to quantum physics has brought about significant changes in social physics and related sciences, including political science. What is the political science framework based on the quantum approach? It is considered as the main question of this research. The main purpose of this research is to be able to explain the political science framework based on the quantum approach by criticizing the Newtonian framework of political science. In this work, for data collection, documentary method and for data analysis, while using the network framework and quantum physics, a qualitative technique with a descriptive and analytical approach has been used. Findings indicate that political science based on the quantum approach has undergone significant changes in the areas of political science, political methodology and political tools by emerging from Newtonian a priori and linear structures. In this process, power is seen as a quantum game and dynamic narrative.
