Summary/Abstract: Political sociology emerged during the long process of dissolution of po­ litical philosophy into sociological theory of politics. Its earliest roots go back to republican theories in time of Renaissance and early Modern­ ism. Contemporary debates about the subject matter of political sociol­ ogy differently reply to the question what defines the theoretical identity of political sociology: understanding that political sociology is sociology of state, sociology of power, sociology of government, sociology of so­ cial movements, sociology of social changes, sociology of democracy, sociology of political behaviour, sociology of conflicts, sociology of elit­ es, sociology of masses, sociology of globalization. The author opts for understanding that the identity of political sociology expresses the rela­ tion of society and politics in the best manner. The final part of the text deals with the issue of academic status of political sociology
