I'd say that it very much depends on the approach of a particular scientist.
It is part of sociology or for some it might be part of political science, but I would not see it as part of policy science.
It's an emergent discipline which crosses the common domains, and which seek to inquire subjects like leadership, power, elitism...having crucial connect with political and sociological concepts and connotations...
Maha Sami - Political sociology has emerged as a separate discipline. It is also taught both as branch of sociology and political science. It can trace its origins to the writings of Alexis de Tocqueville, Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim, and Max Weber, among others, but it only emerged as a separate sub-field within sociology after World War II. Max Weber, the German Sociologist, is usually known as the father of Political Sociology because of his special contributions in this field.
Political sociology, as an independent discipline emerged in the middle of 19th century. It is the product of cross fertilization between sociology and political science. It studies the impact of society and politics on each other.
it seems to me that in different universities it is situated either with political science or sociology.
It has a intricate connection with both political science and sociology
It is a field of sociology, which is used as a source of information for political science.

How we can divide these discipline from each others. All those social sciences disciplines are interconnected with each others on different kind of social sciences.
I also think that in a world where applied aspects plays an increasing role disciplinary consideration go into the background, especially in social sciences where many aspects relate much to each other.
Let us focus on policy science. After, you may do the categorisation. So, what is policy science? Go back to Francis Bacon (C16) to Max Weber (C19) and you may stop at contemporary scholars like Wayne Parsons. After that journey, you might appreciate that policy science is a product of science and politics. If your vector algebra is fresh, look at policy science as a cross-product of the two. Science takes the Kuhnian sense.
Now ask, how has the subject evolved? It is young. Scholars of the 20th century looked for physical objects to provide space for conceptualising policy. Today, a few scholars are looking for spaces of calculus. Look them up. So, we might say policy science is budding and calculus is illuminating it. It is a fascinating subject. Anyone seeking to combine physics and sociology would not find a better subject.
After all that, you could do the categorisation.
we cannot keep concrete separation discipline like social sciences from each other because , in a way of applied social sciences perspective , it is demonstrating a holistic approach as interdisciplinary. Therefore, when we talk about political sociology, it is most closely combine with sociology but in a applied perspective these two disciplines combine with policy science as well.
Coincido que en los inicios la sociología política era una rama de la sociología, pero al tratar con profundidad los conceptos inherentes a las ciencias políticas se vuelve parte de ella en especial cuándo nos movemos al ámbito de las socialización y cultura política.
Also, let us look at a few simple facts. Physics, biology and chemistry - we quickly call them physical sciences and they are anchored on visible objects. History is anchored on a fundamental reality, time. Those fields are well demarcated. Take mathematics. It is wrought out of abstractions of the physical objects. It may not be as well demarcated, often convoluted in the physical sciences. Yet, its power cannot be disputed. That power draws from the imagination of abstraction. In fact, the most powerful tool in mathematics is a farther abstraction (Euler’s formula). So, we should not spend too much time on the demarcation of policy science. We should look at the rigour of the conceptualised spaces. To that end, it seems viewing the policy space as a dynamical system is most illuminating. Cf. Article Policy Space as a Lagrangian Construct: Public-Private Partn...
According to the terminology, political sociology should be in the field of sociological sciences and social policy in the area of political sciences. However, it may be different depending on the specific issues that are examined and described, i.e. whether they are political issues with elements of sociology or sociological issues with elements of politics. In addition, in various institutions of science, in different universities sometimes the same fields of science, identically named are classified differently due to differently laid out fields of science written out to individual faculties, departments, plants, and research teams.
Political Sociology is a sub field of Sociology that is why we can see them as interdisciplinary areas.
I'd say that it very much depends on the approach of a particular scientist.
Historically, it can be considered as a sub-branch of political science. However, it may differ according to the subject and methodology dealt with today. For example, in a study examining the political preferences of young people, if the effects of categories such as age and environment on political preferences are examined, it means that the discipline of sociology prevails. However, if one examines in what kind of social environments authoritarian personality and management style emerges, it means that political science comes to the fore.
