Giovanni Sartori was born in Florence, Italy in 1924 and died in his country in 2014. He was a researcher in political science specifically in the field of comparative politics.

He studied at the University of Florence where he graduated in Social Sciences, was the driving force behind the creation of the first Faculty of Political Science in Italy, also founded the "Rivista Italiana di Scienza Politica" in 1971 and taught at the universities of Florence, Columbia and Stanford.

Sartori was awarded various prizes and honors such as the Prince of Asturias Award for Social Sciences in 2005, the Karl Deutsch Award in 2009 and various honors from Mexican and Argentine universities.

Among his contributions to Political Science, the democratic theory of Political Party Systems and the various contributions he has made to conceptualize and develop important methods for the field of study are particularly noteworthy. His main works are "What is Democracy", "Elements of Political Theory" and "The Race to Nowhere".

Opinión | Giovanni Sartori: elogio del maestro | Newsweek México

I chose Sartori because I believe that he was a very relevant contribution to the development of Political Science, and not only in his country, but he reached many places in the world with his ideas and contributions. In addition, he was an innovator, and although he died recently, I feel that his legacy will be remembered for a long time to come thanks to his studies and participation in the field of Comparative Politics.

Blog 8 A subject I enjoy studying this semester

Imagen
It has been a very difficult semester and different from what I was used to. It is not normal to be studying in the middle of a pandemic while there are so many crises in the country, but there is always something good to rescue. One of my favorite subjects this semester is "Methodology of Research in Political Science", here they teach us how to do research correctly. We had to choose a subject and develop this research step by step during the whole semester, currently I have 2 deliveries of the 4 that are in total. The research methods that we have been taught begin with how to choose a topic, know the central concepts and then establish the dependent and independent variables to begin building the research. Once this is done, we begin to develop hypotheses and focus on finding information and theories related to them. So far we have only developed the qualitative method where we had to interview people related to the central theme we chose, with the interviews we too...

My favorite series

  Hi, this time I'm going to write about one of my favorite series, it's called Outlander and I started it because a cousin recommended it to me, it's also on Netflix, so if you're looking for something to watch it has to be this series! It's a dramatic genre, based on the saga of Diana Gabaldon's levels and the plot is about Claire, a nurse in the 1945 post-World War II era, married to Frank Randall, who at the end of the war goes on a honeymoon to Scotland. Frank is a historian, and they travel to the places in the Highlands where their ancestors lived. Mysteriously Claire travels through time to 1743 where the English are invading Scotland and Claire meets the ancestor (her husband's great-great-grandfather) who is identical to Frank but very evil. Claire in her effort to return to the place where she traveled through time meets a Scottish clan who offers her help and there, she meets Jamie, a beautiful Scot and begins a story with many obstacles and prob...

Blog 6 Favourite music genre / musican.

Imagen
I did not always like this style of music; it was only in 2015 that I discovered it and it is alternative or indie rock. I used to listen to a lot of pop and my favorite band was One Direction, it was a long time, I liked them a lot and I listened to them day and night. Now when I listen to them it brings back good memories but they broke up :(. The band is The Killers, I think they have an incredible musicality and the presentation in their videos is the best. My favorite song of The Killers by far is Mr Brightside, I recommend you to listen it, the video has an interesting plot and also has a continuation with another song in their video that is Shot At The Night. Other very good songs are Read My Mind or Indie, Rock And Roll. The truth is that before I didn't explore much about other genres but thanks to The Killers, I also started listening to Birdy which is indie but closer to pop.
