Summary/Abstract: The author explains the sudden upsurge in development of political sciences in Italy, its "revival" over the last two decades, through the influence of several global factors: subjective-scholarly efforts of prominent political scientists (N. Bobbio. G Sartori), political democratization of society and its secularization, outside influences (American political science) and changes in the Italian university structure. The analytical model for the development of political science, i.e. the criteria for its evaluation, can be expressed by the degree of academic institutionalization: through periodization, duration and development of the discipline; as well as through thematic continuity.
