Gordon Smith (academic)
Gordon Smith was a British lecturer, professor and political scholar in the field of German and comparative European politics, who served as Head of Department for Government at the London School of Economics.
== Life ==
Having been stationed by the British army in Hamburg until the end of World War II, Smith completed his (BSc) Economics degree at the London School of Economics upon his return to London. Following several years in the personnel management of private companies and teaching civics to day-release apprentices at Bournemouth Municipal College, Smith completed a part-time doctorate on the political system of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1964. After having been appointed to a lectureship at London North East Polytechnic (today the University of East London), he published his first book, ''Politics in Western Europe'', wherein a comparison of the political systems of the 19 Western European countries was presented. Due a heightened recognition of the publication and positive reception, Smith was appointed as a senior lecturer at the LSE thereafter, and served a spell as the Head of Department for Government.〔http://www.theguardian.com/education/2010/feb/04/gordon-smith-obituary〕
Smith collaborated with Vincent Wright, Klaus Goetz and Peter Mair to establish the academic journal West European Politics in 1978. Smith also co-founded the journal ''German Politics'' and helped establish the European Political Science Research Consortium〔http://www.ecpr.eu/〕 and the Association for the Study of German Politics,〔http://www.iasgp.org/newsletters/Newsletter_2002_spring.pdf〕 whose chairman he was from 1986 to 1988. He was later elected an honorary Vice-Chairman. He rejected the opinion of some colleagues that political processes can be explained through generalizations; instead, he viewed the history and culture of a country indispensable and essential in understanding political developments and changes.〔http://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/professor-gordon-smith-pioneer-in-the-study-of-german-and-comparative-european-politics-1913701.html〕
