چکیده
Professor Grant Jordan died on Friday 23 June at his home in Hatton, UK, aged 68. Most people know him as an esteemed international scholar in the field of public administration, the policymaking process and interest group politics. We remember him as a valued colleague, mentor and friend. After graduating from Aberdeen University (the class of 1971), Grant worked in market research for 18 months and then began his academic career at Keele University as a Research Assistant with Professor Jeremy Richardson. He returned to Aberdeen as a lecturer in 1974, was promoted to a personal chair in 1990 and, from 2000, he steered Politics and International Relations as Head of Department until his retirement in 2010. Grant was a stellar scholar with an outstanding publication record. He was the author/editor of 15 books and published numerous articles in major journals including the British Journal of Political Science, European Journal of Political Research, Journal of Common Market Studies, Political Studies, Public Administration and the Journal of Public Policy. He was co-author (with Jeremy Richardson) of the highly influential and agenda-setting Governing Under Pressure. They produced a series of insights that still underpin the contemporary discussion of public policy:
