Frederick Basil Chubb (8 December 1921 – 8 May 2002) was an English and Irish political scientist, author and broadcaster. Chubb was the first chair of the new Department of Political Science at Trinity College, Dublin, and was responsible for numerous publications which became standard works for those wishing to gain insight into Irish government and politics, most notably his ''The Government and Politics of Ireland'', which was published in four editions. He was described as the "Father of political science in Ireland"〔 and the "virtual inventor of Irish political science".〔 ==Early life, military service and education== Basil Chubb was born in Branksome, Poole, Dorset,〔 the second eldest of five children. The family moved to Ludgershall, Wiltshire when he was still a child and he attended Bishop Wordsworth's School. He attended Merton College, Oxford, but his education was interrupted by the onset of World War II.〔 He joined the RAF, but was shot down and captured during a bombing raid over Leipzig on 19 February 1944.〔 He spent 15 months as a prisoner at Stalag Luft III, a German air force prisoner of war camp which is best known for two escapes which took place there.〔 Basil was not one of the escapers, although he had to witness the repercussions of the various escape efforts once discovered. Before joining the RAF, Basil had met Margaret (Margot) Rafther at Oxford, and she sent him letters and books via the Red Cross to enable him to continue his studies whilst prisoner. They would marry in 1946, following the end of the war. Also in that year, he completed his first degree in Modern History at Oxford, with a Masters from Trinity College, Dublin, Doctorate from Oxford and Doctor of Letters from Trinity College, Dublin to follow. Chubb and Rafther were friends with George Orwell.〔 Chubb became an Irish citizen in the early 1970s.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Basil Chubb」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
