The article analyzes mutual relations between political science and other social sciences, especially organization studies and management. It shows how political science is indebted to other disciplines, and, on the other hand, how it has the capacity and potential to investigate areas of social life which tend to be seen as non-political. This potential is usually underestimated and unused by political scientists themselves, while representatives of other disciplines often ignore the input political scientists can have in their fields. The encroaching of political science onto areas of study traditionally taken over by other disciplines can contribute to more accurate interpretation and analysis of problems taken up there and can allow political scientists to identify phenomena, that have so far been escaping their notice, as well as political processes which mask themselves as non-political or apolitical.
