Theory of the Partisan: Intermediate Commentary on the Concept of the Political (German : Theorie des Partisanen. Zwischenbemerkung zum Begriff des Politischen) is a 1963 book by the German writer Carl Schmitt. [1] [2] [3] It is based on two lectures Schmitt held in Francoist Spain in 1962 and covers military history, political philosophy and the legal and administrative aspects of partisanship. Schmitt intended it as a concretisation and update for the post-war period of his thesis from The Concept of the Political (1932). [4]
