我难以用言语来充分感谢瑞典学术界，特别是瑞典政治学界，感谢你们今天对我的尊敬。正如你们中的一些人所知道的，我以一种特殊的方式珍惜瑞典。20世纪70年代初，我作为欧洲政治研究联合会（ECPR）的主任第一次访问了贵国，参观了哥德堡、斯德哥尔摩、乌普萨拉、于默奥和隆德的政治学系，之后我有幸多次应邀到瑞典，在斯德哥尔摩和乌普萨拉进行密集教学，并在瑞典政治学协会发表演讲。几年前，我有幸成为皇家瑞典学院的一员。与此同时，我和我的妻子享受着你们中许多人的友谊，特别是贡纳·舍布隆、奥洛夫和英格·鲁因、莱夫和巴布罗·卢因。你们现在授予我政治学领域最珍贵的奖项，从而将我与你们授予斯凯特奖的杰出学者联系在一起。我很自豪我是这样一个团体的一员。谢谢你，谢谢你，瑞典万岁！在你们授予我荣誉的背景下，请允许我感谢过去40年来我与之关系最密切的机构：埃塞克斯大学政府学系、欧洲政治研究联合会，以及自1980年代中期以来佛罗伦萨的欧洲大学研究所和锡耶纳大学。这些机构使我有机会把我的一生奉献给比较政治学。我要向他们表示深切的感谢。我还想记录三位导师，我欠他们一个特别的债。第一个，按时间顺序，是莫里斯·杜沃格。我从来没有接近他，但他的Les partis politiques（1951）塑造了我的兴趣。我了解到，制度在政治生活中发挥着关键作用，但要了解它们，必须跨国家研究它们。仍然按时间顺序，我的第二位导师自然是，
I can hardly find words to thank adequately Swedish academia in general and Swedish political science in particular for the way you are honouring me today. As some of you know, I cherish Sweden in a special fashion. After I made a first trip to your country in the early 1970s, as Director of the European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR), and visited the political science departments at Goteborg, Stockholm, Uppsala, Umea and Lund, I had the privilege to be invited several times to Sweden for periods of intensive teaching, in both Stockholm and Uppsala, and to address the Swedish Political Science Association. I was then honoured some years ago to be made a member of the Royal Swedish Academy. Meanwhile, my wife and I enjoyed the friendship of many among you and, in particular, of Gunnar Sjoblom, Olof and Inger Ruin and Leif and Barbro Lewin. You are now awarding me the most treasured prize in political science and thus associating me with the illustrious scholars on whom you have bestowed the Skytte Prize. I am immensely proud to feel that I am part of such a group. Thank you, thank you, thank you and long live Sweden! Allow me to thank, in the context of the honour that you are awarding me, the institutions with which I have been most closely involved over the last forty years: the Department of Government at the University of Essex, the European Consortium for Political Research and, since the mid-1980s, the European University Institute in Florence and the University of Siena. These institutions have given me the opportunity to devote my life to comparative politics. I wish to thank them profoundly. I also wish to record three mentors to whom I owe a particular debt. The first, chronologically, is Maurice Duverger. I never was close to him, but his Les partis politiques (1951) shaped my interests. I learnt that institutions had a key role in political life but that, to understand them, one had to study them across nations. Still chronologically, my second mentor was, naturally,
