On Two Books about “Parliamentarism”
No.1(2013)
Abstract
Keywords:
parliament; parliamentarism; anti-system party; Poland; Czechoslovakia
This text is a short reflection on the possibility of studying historical events through a political science approach. The two analyzed publications exemplify the possibility and the failure of such an approach. While the first book presents a coherent political science analysis of the past, the second publication fails to do so. In my text, I argue that by using appropriate theoretical foundations and methodological approaches, politics in the past can not only be effectively examined but that relevant conclusions can be reached as well.
