This book provides a thorough interpretation of Raymond Aron’s political sociology of industrial societies from the perspective of contemporary political science. However, the book is not only aimed at specialists or advanced students of political science, but appeals to a much wider range of cultivated readers. Particular attention is paid to those issues that have been subject to conflicting interpretations, such as his relationship to the so-called convergence theory, or how he understood the end of the ideological age, what his relationship to European integration was, or to what extent he was influenced by Carl Schmitt. More than 40 years have passed since Aron’s death (1983). The author therefore explains the extent to which more recent scholars such as Giovanni Sartori, François Furet, Leszek Kołakowski, Martin Malia and Alain Besançon have contributed to or continued to analyse the issues that Raymond Aron was so concerned with. - Nyhet

A major reassessment of the work of the canonical political theorist Maurice Duverger.Widely cited but increasingly seldom read, Maurice Duverger (1917–2014) exemplifies the fate of many canonical thinkers in political science. Famous but Misunderstood revisits his legacy through a comprehensive analysis of three interconnected pillars of his work: the formulation of Duverger’s laws concerning the relationship between electoral systems and party systems; his typology of pluralist party systems; and his empirical theories of democracy. Duverger’s ideas are examined in close comparison with the later and highly influential contributions of Giovanni Sartori (1924–2017) and Arend Lijphart (*1936), highlighting both continuities and divergences.Authored by political scientist Miroslav Novák, recipient of the 2024 Czech Political Science Association Award for his contribution to the development of Czech political science, the book persuasively argues that contemporary scholarship has significantly misunderstood Duverger’s work. In doing so, it calls for a reassessment not only of Duverger’s theories but also of prevailing narratives about the evolution of political science in the second half of the twentieth century.
