Robert Alan Dahl Book order

Matilda applies her untapped mental powers to rid the school of the evil, child-hating headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, and restore her nice teacher, Miss Honey, to financial security. Suggested level: primary.

Gdyby Nobla przyznawano w dziedzinie politologii, to Robert A. Dahl – emerytowany profesor Yale University – z pewnością by go otrzymał. W uzasadnieniu byłaby mowa o jego pluralistycznej teorii elit politycznych, znaczącym wkładzie w teorię demokracji (koncepcja poliarchii) i teorii władzy. Być może Akademia podkreśliłaby, iż Dahl jest jednym z kilku uczonych, dzięki którym politologia zyskała status dyscypliny naukowej. Drugi autor tej książki, Bruce Stinebrickner, jest również profesorem Yale University, wieloletnim bliskim współpracownikiem Roberta A. Dahla. Współczesna analiza polityczna – bestseller amerykańskiej politologii – zawiera siatkę pojęciową pozwalającą w sposób systematyczny badać i opisywać zjawiska polityki w naszych czasach. Ułatwia jej rozumienie i aktywne, samodzielne odnoszenie się do świata polityki. Kluczowe pytania, na których opiera się konstrukcja tej książki, są pozornie bardzo proste: – Czym jest władza, a czym wpływ? – Czym jest polityka? – Co to jest system polityczny, państwo, rząd? – Jakie są podstawowe problemy współczesnych demokracji i dlaczego istnieją reżimy niedemokratyczne? – Czym różnią się od siebie systemy polityczne? – Dlaczego jedni ludzie uczestniczą w polityce, a inni są bierni? Autorom udaje się znaleźć na te pytania syntetyczne, ale zarazem oryginalne odpowiedzi. Książka jest podręcznikiem dla studentów nauk społecznych, zwłaszcza politologii. Wykładowców tych dyscyplin zainteresuje natomiast najbardziej jej część czwarta, poświęcona refleksji nad założeniami metodologicznymi nauk politycznych i ich użytecznością.

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

Politische Gleichheit ist die Grundvoraussetzung für Demokratie, denn das demokratische Ideal setzt voraus, dass sie wünschenswert ist. Wer also Demokratie verwirklichen will und an dieses Ideal glaubt, muss auch die politische Gleichberechtigung anstreben. Allerdings klafft auch in demokratischen Gesellschaften zwischen dem Ziel der politischen Gleichheit und ihrer tatsächlichen Realisierung eine große Lücke. In einigen demokratischen Ländern scheint diese Kluft sogar zu wachsen, so dass womöglich das Ideal der Gleichheit völlig bedeutungslos wird. Muss dieses Ideal heute als gescheitert angesehen und zugunsten realistischerer Ziele aufgegeben werden? Und wie und warum sind die demokratischen Regierungen diesen Idealen nicht gerecht geworden?

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

This work questions the extent to which the American Constitution furthers democratic goals. It reveals the Constitution's potentially antidemocratic elements and explains why they are there, compares the American constitutional system to other democratic systems, and more. schovat popis

Overview: Written by the preeminent democratic theorist of our time, this book explains the nature, value, and mechanics of democracy. This new edition includes two additional chapters by Ian Shapiro, Dahl's successor as Sterling Professor of Political Science at Yale and a leading contemporary authority on democracy. One chapter deals with the prospects for democracy in light of developments since the advent of the Arab spring in 2010. The other takes up the effects of inequality and money in politics on the quality of democracy, a subject that was of increasing concern to Dahl in his final years
