The article considers the limitations and merits of research strategies in contemporary political science. The strategies are associated with the perception of politics as an area of social life. The article claims that the perceptive status of political science is and would be raised by general employment of the problem strategy (integrative, ultra – and infradiscyplinary). The strategy is used in order to explain particular research problems. This involves the use of general and factual knowledge accumulated by particular social sciences as well as biological ones. The application of this particular strategy leads to transformation of the institutional shape of the discipline. One may predict establishing of small universities – communities of researchers regularly employed in various research institutes worldwide. They would be involved in the coherent and multi-angled interpretation of complex phenomena of social life, such as multicultures, religious fundamentalism or transformation of political system.
