I think that they are not really separate. Political science and political history are intertwined. To understand any theme or topic in politics you need to understand the history behind it and any principles associated with it are inferred from historical evidence. To learn about elections you will study past elections , to learn about prime ministers you will learn about what prime ministers have done, etc. There is no other way.
