Postmodernism is period following modernism and is based on proponents, or postmodernists, adopting a largely skeptical view of commonly held ideas in many areas including art, culture, literature, economics, philosophy and architecture. In the field of political science, post-modernism refers to the belief that political issues cannot be discussed only in the framework of traditionalist approaches to politics such as liberalism and realism as these theories provide too narrow a definition of values and meanings to accurately analyze political issues.
