This book is devoted to the work of Robert A. Dahl, who passed away
in 2014. Dahl was one of the most important American political
scientists and normative democratic theorists of the post-war era,
and he was also an influential teacher who mentored some of the
most significant academics of the next two generations of American
political science. As an incredibly productive scholar he had a
career that spanned more than half a century, his first book was
published in 1950 his last was in 2007 at the age of 92. As a
political scientist, he was respected even by those who were
critical of his works. This theoretical significance and profound
influence is reflected in the collection of chapters in this
volume, which reads like a 'who's who' of the contemporary US
political science scene. His co-author Bruce Stinebrickner
documents the evolution of his and Dahl's seminal text, Modern
Political Analysis and how it became the standard introduction to
American political science for nearly fifty years. Katharine
MacKinnon's chapter is of significance for its insights upon Dahl
and also represents a succinct statement of a feminist reading and
critique of contemporary political science. Steven Lukes
contributes a highly concise statement of the difference between
one-dimensional and three-dimensional power. This work will be a
standard reference work for any researchers or those interested in
the work of Robert Dahl, among both established academics and
students. This book was originally published as a special issue of
the Journal of Political Power.
