Preface
The original version of this publication was produced in the academic year
1995/96 through a fruitful cooperation between senior lecturer Gertrud Pettersson
of the Department of Scandinavian Languages and tutors at the Department of
Political Science in Lund. In this 2011 edition the text has been adapted and
supplemented in several places. This revision was produced in cooperation with
Susanna Karlsson at the Department of Scandinavian Languages.
In the study of Political Science, particular weight is placed on the student's
capacity to produce, both orally and in writing, critical review and presentation of
scientific texts. The structure for best achieving this varies between different
disciplines, as well as between different tutors/researchers. This publication – The
art of writing and speaking – we regard however as a normative and valuable
user's guide on all levels in the Political Science discipline, not least in
conjunction with thesis writing. The text has been translated from Swedish by
Fiona Thesslin.
Jakob Gustavsson and Maria Hedlund
