Defence studies as a discipline within the slovenian political science

Prvine obramboslovne politologije so obstajale v slovenskem družboslovju še pred drugo svetovno vojno in so se po njej razvijale predvsem v delih zgodovinarjev. Leta 1975 je z ustanovitvijo obramboslovne katedre na predhodnici današnje FDV prišlo do institucionalizacije obramboslovja kot akademske discipline. Obramboslovna veja politologije se je odtlej razvijala ob prepletanju z drugimi družboslovnimi disciplinami, pod vplivom bolj razvitega zahodnega obramboslovja in politologije ter sodelovanja v mednarodnih strokovnih združenjih in do leta 1991 v jugoslovanskem okviru. Tesno je bila in ostaja povezana s pedagoško in znanstvenoraziskovalno dejavnostjo Obramboslovnega raziskovalnega centra na FDV in je tvorno prispevala k razvoju slovenske politologije in demokratične politične kulture v SlovenijiIn Slovenian social sciences elements of defence studies within political science have already existed before the Second World War, and after the war were mainly developed in the works of historians. In 1975, the establishment of the Chair of Defence Studies at the predecessor of today’s Faculty of Social Sciences brought about the institutionalisation of defence studies as an academic discipline. Ever since, defence studies as a discipline within political science have developed in the intertwinement with other social scientific disciplines, under the influence of a more developed Western military and political sciences, and in co-operation with international and professional associations. Until 1991, they were developed within the Yugoslav framewrok. Defence studies have been and remain closely related to educational and research activities of the Defence Research Center at the Faculty of Social Sciences in Ljubljana. They have actively contributed to the development of Slovenian political science and democratic political culture in Sloveni
