This chapter is the conclusion of the whole book. It briefly summarises Sartori’s uniqueness, originality, and importance. Sartori’s work is impressive, but the chapter does not shy away from the areas where Sartori failed. In particular, the issues of political commentary and advice, where Sartori, as an expert in political theory, became involved in the Italian debates on reforming the Italian political system in the 1990s. His proposals, however, did not influence Italian politicians. Nevertheless, Sartori never abandoned the idea that it was the duty of political scientists to participate in such discussions. However, his failure to put his ideas into political praxis contrasts sharply with the size and influence of his scholarly work, from which generations of political scientists have drawn to the present day.

摘要

This chapter is the conclusion of the whole book. It briefly summarises Sartori’s uniqueness, originality, and importance. Sartori’s work is impressive, but the chapter does not shy away from the areas where Sartori failed. In particular, the issues of political commentary and advice, where Sartori, as an expert in political theory, became involved in the Italian debates on reforming the Italian political system in the 1990s. His proposals, however, did not influence Italian politicians. Nevertheless, Sartori never abandoned the idea that it was the duty of political scientists to participate in such discussions. However, his failure to put his ideas into political praxis contrasts sharply with the size and influence of his scholarly work, from which generations of political scientists have drawn to the present day.
