    Guillermo O'Donnell According to Gerardo Munck

    Guillermo O'Donnell marked a change in democratic thought. His focus on Latin America gave him a different perspective. He combined Western political traditions with the experiences of those in Latin America. The result was a degree of creativity few possessed in the social sciences. He shaped ideas about political modernization, democratization, and democratic quality. Gerardo Munck worked with Guillermo O'Donnell on a few projects, but has also closely studied his ideas. Munck is a highly influential political scientist in his own right who is a professor in the School of International Relations at the University of Southern California. He is also the coauthor of Passion, Craft, and Method in Comparative Political Science where he interviewed an earlier generation of political scientists including O'Donnell.

    Robert Dahl According to Jeffrey Isaac

    Robert Dahl is among the most influential political theorists of democratic thought. He wrote many seminal books including Polyarchy, Who Governs, and On Democracy. This conversation discusses many of Dahl as a theorist and as a person. Many of his ideas are put into the context of his time and explain why they remain relevant for today. Jeffrey Isaac was the last PhD student Robert Dahl supervised. He knew him personally and has studied his work closely. He is the James H. Rudy Professor of Political Science at Indiana University, Bloomington. Many know him for the time he served as Editor in Chief of Perspectives on Politics from 2009-2017. This conversation will leave out much about Robert Dahl. It's not meant to explore every nuance or idea. Instead, it brings those ideas to life through someone who knew him well. This is the first part in a series of bonus episodes that introduce important democratic theorists through people who have studied them closely and when possible knew them well. It's available for supporters of the podcast on Patreon or premium subscribers.
