sytematic analysis of political factors


Explanation:
or if you prefer...

"systematic description of political factors"

- a work around translation for a phrase (opis politologiczny) that isn't quite covered by an equivalent in English.

The closest equivalents to "politologia" and "politologiczny" in English are, respectively, "political science" and "related to, involving, cocerning political science".

Clearly , "concerning political science" is too awkward, too unwieldy a turn of phrase to be used here.

Therefore my suggested work around.

Please see my reference where I give my reasons for thinking that "politology" or "politological" would not be the preferred translation, even if these be technically correct.

Reference: Politology!?! What's that!!? ;-)

Reference information:
All I can say is this term is rarely IF EVER used in English.

For what its worth, my own educational background is in "Political Science", and I've never encountered to term.

I Googled def. "politology"and def. "politicological" and ALL the references I found were to translations of academic articles, typically from some Eastern European language (Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Russian, etc.)

I would sooner translate this as "Political Science", so something along the lines of "Political Science analysis" or "description in terms of Political Science"...

Please note links to definitions I did find provided below

Incidentally, I don't think "politology" or "politological" is technically incorrect, just that it is not used by native speakers, and will sound alien. :-)

One last thought!

You might consider "systematic political analysis" "or "systematic analysis of political factors"

Example sentence(s):
  • Politology (uncountable) 1. the branch of social science concerned with theory, description, analysis and prediction of political behavior, political systems and politics broadly-construed
  • Synonyms: political science (much more common)

  -> O.K. I'll take you up on your suggestion. I was reluctant, since my suggestion is more a "work around" than a direct translation of the phrase.
agree  OTMed (X): Agree, pepost it as an answer. Your input is very useful, esp. that some of us non-natives tend to provide literal translation rather than localization.
