Revue française de science politique (R.F.S.P.) published my article “Systèmes partisans compétitifs: quelle divergence entre Duverger et Sartori?“ in no 3/2015 (Revue française de science politique, 2015/3, (Vol. 65), p. 451-471, ISBN : 9782724634181, DOI : 10.3917/rfsp.653.0451,

In the article, I prove in detail that contemporary literature – not only the American/English one but also even the French one – completely misinterprets a particular feature of the work of French political scientist, Maurice Duverger (1917-2014): his typology of pluralist (competitive) party systems. Whereas the contemporary literature claims that Duverger confines himself to a simple classification of pluralist party systems: bipartism-multipartism, I thoroughly document in my article that since 1951 Duverger formulated a much more sophisticated typology of pluralist party systems.
