Summary/Abstract: The author makes an attempt at grasping the specific features of the theory of the genre of political analysis. He wishes to indicate by the approach itself that he defines the genre of political analysis as a discipline possessing autonomous characteristics and not as an occasional genre. First of all it is an important point of consideration what the relationship of political science is to political analysis. The author is of the view that one has to identify the genre of political analysis within the universe of political science but different from it. N ext the issue of the approach of the theory of the genre can be raised. The author argues for the introduction of this approach. The paper discusses the norms and levels of political analysis, proving that the distinction between the genres of political science and political analysis is by far not enough and further differentiation is necessary within political analysis. Finally, the paper raises the problem of the possible delineation of the genre; it typifies the various branches and levels of analysis and separates the different trends of analysis from one another.
