Abstract

The present effort is a compendious review of the theoretical orientations of political anthropology. Authors deliberately unfold the discussion with a paradox between the ?political anthropology? and the ?anthropology of politics? as a key that ought to relate the contemporary multidisciplinary stands of the subfield. It further focuses on the ?troubled history? of the sub-discipline to understand how it intensified sensitivity towards the pervasiveness of the embedded power and politics within the ?everyday? practice. The ubiquitous ?anthropology of politics? essentially prioritizes the increasing politicization of every single anthropological theme which was beyond the matrix of a single review article. So, the present attempt is rather an outline to render the sporadic growth of political anthropology over the century. By focusing on the successive approaches and recent trends authors try to extend the further scope of the interdisciplinary researches on the complexities and challenges of political anthropology within the age of neoliberal globalization.
