Hans Daalder (1928-2016)

It is with great sadness that the ECPR announces the death of Prof. Hans Daalder. Hans was one of the eight founders of the European Consortium for Political Research in 1970 and followed its first Chair (Stein Rokkan) as ECPR Chair from 1976 to 1979 while he served as the first Head of the Department of Political and Social Sciences of the newly established European University Institute in Florence, Italy. He was also Professor of Political Science at Leiden University in the Netherlands from 1963 to 1993.

He was a brilliant scholar of the politics of the Netherlands and comparative European politics, and made an outstanding contribution to the growth and development of European political science. The ECPR has long recognized its gratitude to Hans, and in particular his commitment to helping young scholars, through the prize named after him, which is awarded biennially at the ECPR Graduate Student Conference for the best paper presented.

Our condolences go to Hans’ family, friends and colleagues at this difficult time.
