Resumen

• This volume contains the lectures delivered by six specialists in Political Science during the series of lectures organised in May 2006 by the Barcelona Institute of Political and Social Sciences (Institut de Ciències Polítiques i Socials (ICPS)) in homage to Juan J.

  Linz, who, for many scholars of social sciences, is Spain’s most influential and best- known sociologist and political scientist and who has also been a major and fundamental influence on so many of them, having played a central role in the research careers of several generations of sociologists and political scientists both in Catalonia and in Spain as a whole.

  Despite Linz’s exceptional importance as an intellectual figure and his academic contributions, as far as we know, there is no publication in Spain that honours the man in the way we believe he deserves for so many reasons, nor any in which his works are made available to a wider audience. This book is an attempt to make up for that.

  The impact of his vast body of research and the fact that he has been a mentor for so many people, place Juan Linz among the world's great writers on Political Science. In addition, his extraordinary humanity reinforces the influence that he has had both on his direct disciples and on contemporary social scientists in general. In short, this volume aims to offer a modest contribution to the explicit and unreserved recognition of his intellectual and human contributions.
