In recent years, political science as a discipline was described very negatively in the views of political elites, media and society. Despite the fact that the their position in modern democratic societies went hand in hand with the word trends of political sciences in common, we are able to observed differences within the interpretation, the methodology, or in the context of scientific papers and publications. The main aim of the article is to analyse selected political journals in Slovakia in the context of their establishment in the international databases, in context of their thematic target and in the diversity in relation to the expertise of authors.
The author has discussed some of the problems of journals edited by ethnic minorities in Poland between the years 1989–2007. He has taken and described the most important tittles from a wide range of at least one hundred such journals. The author then showed on what scale these periodicals were registered in the national bibliography. Finally he has given several examples of library stocks (universities and public libraries), which are still collecting these ethnic minority journals. It appears that the number of these titles are very little.
The study focuses on the Slovak literary life between the years 1945 - 1948, especially on the relations and conflicts among Slovak writers and intellectuals in the short period before the communist coup. In the paper they are analysed public reactions to the cleansing of Slovak cultural life in the contemporary cultural journals, whereas the author pays attention mainly on the communist writers. Although these intellectuals were members of the Communist party, many of them had different opinions on how to deal with the problem of cleansing after the World War II. The study wants to emphasize variability of opinions among the communist´s writers and the attention of the study is turned to the interior of the writer´s community, who has been traditionally quarrelled since the first Czechoslovak republic and divided by personal conflicts.
