This study reflects the development of political science in the 1990s, when Miroslav Kusý established Department of Political Science at the Comenius University in Bratislava. His organisational efforts and international contacts became a key condition in the process of the institutionalisation and recognition of a new social science discipline. We argue that there were several general trends in the development of political science in the 1990s, which are only slowly changing. First, there were almost no traditions in doing political science research. Second, the institutional development (establishment of a political science association, departments, faculties, research institutes, etc.) was a prerequisite for the advancement of political science. Third, political science in Slovakia has depended and partly still depends on the performance of other societal disciplines; therefore acquiring the autonomy is very slow and unbalanced. Fourth, political research focuses almost exclusively on Slovakia therefore the comparative approach and conceptual innovations continue to be rather rare. Finally, the critical academic debate was (and still) is missing.

In the 1970s and the 1980s, the Czechoslovak regime of so called normalization could not reestablish terror of former Stalinist style. Slovak Marxist philosopher and dissident Miroslav Kusý (*1931) interpreted this situation as an agreement between the Communist Party on the one hand and the ruled people on the other which he expressed in the following line: “Shut up and you will be happy”. Kusý argues that an unconditional ban to criticize the political and economic situation of the country was accompanied by a special form of the official language people had to use in their public communication. Accepting these rules, they obtained a satisfaction of their personal economic needs. They were not obliged to believe in the socialist ideology of the Communist Party. However they had to pretend “as if” they did so. This caused a Machiavellian behaviour of common people: in order to gain their material prosperity people acted differently in public than they thought and acted in private.

Miroslav Kusý belongs to the generation of intellectuals of the 20th century who never doubted that the implementation of communist ideals would secure peace and prosperity for all humanity. Gradually, however, his opinions ceased to correspond to the party line, and in 1971 he was expelled from the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia.After his break with communist ideology, he nevertheless remained committed to Marxism, and this at the time of his open conflict with the Normalization regime. M. Kusý’s persecution culminated in August 1989, when he was taken into custody with Jan Čarnogurský, Hana Ponická, Vladimír Maňák and Anton Selecký were arrested as well. Together, they formed the wellknown Bratislava Five. Kusý advocated reintegration of political science into the system of scientific disciplines as early as the 1960s. He argued in its favour by saying that the former contributes to the understanding of social, political and economic problems. Since 1990, he has significantly contributed to the development of political science in Slovakia and is still one of the leading advocates of human rights. His opinions are always closely monitored and at times trigger negative reactions. Kusý has frequently encountered attacks on his person, his opinions and attitudes in the mass media - not only during the Normalization period but also after 1990. He has always striven to find answers through his own reasoning and fact-finding and to arrive at conclusions that would reflect both the particular period and the level of knowledge of the time. His life stance has garnered him honours including the state awards of the Slovak Republic, the Czech Republic and Hungary.

The aim of this study is to analyze those works by Miroslav Kusý that deal with the role of institutions in political life. The main argument is that Miroslav Kusý developed institutional line of thought, which has been bringing forward analytical reflection of the processes of political stability and transformation since the 1960s, and this in parallel with the evolution of institutionalism as a theoretical current in western political science. Meanwhile, the empirical context of systemic changes in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s gave Kusý place for a specific type of institutionalist arguments which, while reflecting current issues, due to some degree of abstraction do not lose their theoretical relevance even today in the context of exploring the changes in political institutions such as citizenship, or institutionalized arrangements such as EU. Since institutionalism in its various forms constitutes one of the established political paradigms, the author argues in this study that Miroslav Kusý may well be regarded as the founder of modern Slovak political science.
