Abstract

This article argues that after the initial expansion of departments and postgraduate courses during and after the mid-1990s in Greece, we are now witnessing the first signs that the academic environment is unable to absorb young academics entering the field. A long 'waiting list' of young PhDs, combined with a lack of public funding for new posts, creates a rather negative picture for the future of young Greek political scientists.
