- Abstract
The Republic of Macedonia has twenty-four years' tradition of parliamentary democracy. The goal of this paper is to determine effects of professionalization of the Macedonian parliamentary elite in seven parliamentary terms from 1991 to 2011. The professionalization of parliamentary elite is defined as process that means creating high standards for access to a parliamentary seat. Effects of professionalization are detected in the research of the parliamentary elites of the European countries. The effects of professionalization could be detected by using indicators that measure a few aspects of transformation of parliamentary elites as the age structure, the level and the type of education, the professional occupation, the political experience and the percent of re-elected members of parliament. The effects of professionalization detected in this paper show growth and decline of the trend of professionalization of the Macedonian parliamentary elite.
