Read moreThe Department of Political Science at the University of Peradeniya holds the distinction of being the first of its kind established within a Sri Lankan university. Even prior to its formal inception as a fully-fledged department in 1980, courses in Political Science were offered through the Special Degree Programme in Economics. In 1969, the Chair of Political Science was created within the Department of Economics to support the growing academic interest in the discipline. Prof. Alfred Jeyaratnam Wilson, a renowned Sri Lankan political scientist with international recognition, was appointed as the first Chair. Following this development, separate General and Special Degree Programmes in Political Science were introduced, and the department began admitting students to postgraduate studies in the field. When the Department of Political Science was officially established, its pioneering staff consisted of academics who had previously conducted Political Science courses within the Department of Economics.
