El método comparativo de Gabriel Almond
Gabriel Almond es uno de los politólogos contemporáneos más reconocidos. Dentro del extenso campo de la ciencia política, el área a la que más atención ha dedicado es a la política comparada. En este terreno, sus teorías de la cultura cívica y el desarrollo político han tenido una gran repercusión en el mundo académico. Junto con Easton, ha desarrollado ampliamente el concepto de sistema político para ponerlo en el centro de la política comparada. Sin embargo, el método que ha propuesto para comparar los diferentes sistemas políticos del mundo presenta una serie de limitaciones que tratan de señalarse en este texto.
Palabras clave: Política comparada; desarrollo político; sistema político; secularización cultural; diferenciación estructural
Gabriel Almond is a contemporary well-known political scientist. In the wide discipline of the political science, the most attractive field for him has been the comparative politics. His theories of the civic culture and political development have had a huge importance in the academic environment. To follow the path marked by Easton, Almond has developed at length the concept of political system to put it in the center of the comparative politics. However, the method proposed by Almond to compare the political systems of the world has many problems which are indicated in this paper.
Key words: Comparative politics; political development; political system; structural differentiation; cultural secularization
