Democracy in 30 Lessons by Giovanni Sartori (2009)

Abstract

Giovanni Sartori is one of the most prolific thinkers in the field of political science, to which he has made numerous epistemological contributions on scientific work and the construction of new theories in terms of politics. With methodological rigor, Sartori exposes models of analysis of the political fact within the social framework, thus creating new routes for contemporary academic debate.  The aim of this review is to carry out a critical analysis of the work, considering both its organization and its content. The current relevance of Sartori's book and its impact on political science and civic education will be explored.
