Christopher Lynch (born 1963) is a political scientist and theorist who focuses his research on Machiavelli. Lynch has published one book and numerous articles in academic journals.

Publications

Lynch translated, edited, and provided an introduction of Niccolò Machiavelli's Art of War. While staying true to the original text, Lynch was also able to translate it into modern English to allow the audience to respect Machiavelli's writings on the relationship between war and politics. Additionally, the introduction that Lynch wrote provides political and historical context and its current relevance. Furthermore, the book includes an interpretive essay that explores three different aspects of the text: philosophical, military, and political.[1]

Lynch coedited Principle and Prudence in Western Political Thought, a collection of essays published in 2016.[2]
