Summary: Political science is a relatively new discipline in Macedonia, which roots can be found in research and teaching at MA and doctoral level during communism. The first BA programme in Political Science was established after the proclamation of independence of the country, at the Political Science department of the Faculty of Law, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University of Skopje, in the academic year 1993/1994. With the liberalization of the higher education area, political science curricula became part of the academic offer at almost all private universities where social science departments were established. This did not, however, contribute to increased quantity and quality of research, since political science institutions, with several exceptions, remained mostly teaching oriented. The introduction of the Bologna process in Macedonia in 2003 marked the start of the reforms of Political Science BA and MA curricula, and establishment of Doctoral studies which replaced the previous “mentor system” doctoral programmes. With regard to research activities, limitations of available staff and scarce institutional and financial resources put constrains on research activities which result in relatively small number of international publications of political scientists from Macedonia.
