The article is a review of the book Contemporary Political Science: Methodolog y (edited by O.V. Gaman-Golutvina and A.I. Nikitin. Moscow: Aspect Press; 2019. 776 p.) which aims at assessing the interpretative potential of political science methodology for sociology. The author believes that the book opens up new horizons for cooperation of political science and sociology for it expands the range of methodological optics, encourages the formulation of new tasks for sociological analysis, allows to rethink the current challenges of the contemporary world in an interdisciplinary perspective and to more accurately conceptualize through the political analysis the topics relevant to contemporary sociology, and also shows how a number of theoretical approaches and paradigms of political science can be used in sociology.
