The work of Barrington Moore, Jr., is one of the landmarks of
modern social science. A distinguished roster of contributors here
discusses the influence of his best-known work, Social Origins of
Dictatorship and Democracy. Their individual perspectives combine
in delineating Moore's contributions to the transformation of
comparative and historical social science over the past several
decades.
The essays in Democracy, Revolution, and History all address
substantive and methodological problems, asking questions about the
different historical paths toward democratic or nondemocratic
political outcomes. Following Moore's example, they use
well-researched comparative cases to make their arguments. In the
process, they demonstrate how vital Moore's work remains to
contemporary research in the social sciences. This volume points,
as well, to new frontiers of scholarship, suggesting lines of work
that build upon Moore's achievements.
