Political Management

Political Management

Political Management is a broad category encompassing a number of activities in professional politics. The field includes campaign management, advertisement creation/purchasing, grassroots politics, strategic research, issue advocacy, lobbying, fundraising, and polling. Some consider political management to be an applied form of political science.

Several universities offer graduate degrees in political management and applied politics. One of the most well known of these is The Graduate School of Political Management at The George Washington University.
