Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Robert Dahl's Preface helped launch democratic theory fifty years ago as a new area of study in political science, and it remains the standard introduction to the field. Exploring problems that had been left unsolved by traditional thought on democracy, Dahl here examines two influential models--the Madisonian, which represents prevailing American doctrine, and its recurring challenger, populist theory--arguing that they do not accurately portray how modern democracies operate. He then constructs a model more consistent with how contemporary democracies actually function, and, in doing so, develops some original views of popular sovereignty and the American constitutional system. For this fiftieth-anniversary edition, Dahl has written an extensive new afterword that reevaluates Madisonian theory in light of recent research. And in a new foreword, he reflects back on his influential volume and the ways his views have evolved since he wrote it. For any student or scholar of political science, this new material is an essential update on a gold standard in the evolving field of democratic theory. A Preface to Democratic Theory is well worth the devoted attention of anyone who cares about democracy.--Political Science Quarterly.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. In this now-classic work, one of the most celebrated political scientists of the twentieth century offers a powerful interpretation of the location of political power in American urban communities. For this new edition, Robert A. Dahl has written a new Preface in which he reflects on Who Governs? more than four decades after its publication. And in a new Foreword, Douglas W. Rae offers an assessment of Dahl's achievement in this, Dahl's greatest and most influential book. Dahl is never dogmatic, and never imagines that the world stands still to accommodate either the democratic ideal or his own pluralistic theory of city politics. . . .Who Governs? is Dahl's liveliest and most remarkable book.--Douglas W. Rae, from the Foreword From reviews of the first edition: A book that no one interested in politics can afford to ignore.--Lewis A. Coser, Commentary Anyone seriously concerned with current systematic political theory or with urban politics should read Who Governs?--Hugh Douglas Price, Political Science Quarterly A sophisticated and undogmatic treatise on democratic politics.--Heinz Eulau, American Political Science Review Dahl has illuminated a central question in political science, the problem of how men can govern themselves in complex societies. . . . Who Governs? will become a classic.--from the citation of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation Award.…
