(This book is aimed at explaining the theory and practice ...)
This book is aimed at explaining the theory and practice of democracy. It not only describes the history of democratic development from the broad historic time interval, but also analyzes the limitations and possibilities of democracy from the macroscopic theoretical perspective. It puts forward and explains procedural democracy, polyarchy and a series of important concepts, together with incisive scientific proof and clear frame construction, which makes this book smoothly, fresh and clean.

( Robert Dahl’s Preface helped launch democratic theory f...)
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

"It is easy to become enthusiastic about this book. The authors, a political scientist and an economist....have boldly set as their task an assessment of the politico-economic techniques whereby nations and smaller social group attempt to maximize attainment of their goals. The volume....is unique in its tying together of political and economic theory and its demonstration that the price system, bargaining, hierarchy, and majority vote can be analyzed both as potential complements of and potential substitutes for one another.... Any student of social institutions should be interested in the topics discussed, and those primarily working in the fields of economic theory, economic systems, political theory, and comparative government should find the volume fascinating." -- Henry M. Oliver, Jr., Journal of Political Economy

( Tocqueville pessimistically predicted that liberty and ...)
Tocqueville pessimistically predicted that liberty and equality would be incompatible ideas. Robert Dahl, author of the classic A Preface to Democratic Theory, explores this alleged conflict, particularly in modern American society where differences in ownership and control of corporate enterprises create inequalities in resources among Americans that in turn generate inequality among them as citizens. Arguing that Americans have misconceived the relation between democracy, private property, and the economic order, the author contends that we can achieve a society of real democracy and political equality without sacrificing liberty by extending democratic principles into the economic order. Although enterprise control by workers violates many conventional political and ideological assumptions of corporate capitalism as well as of state socialism. Dahl presents an empirically informed and philosophically acute defense of "workplace democracy." He argues, in the light of experiences here and abroad, that an economic system of worker-owned and worker-controlled enterprises could provide a much better foundation for democracy, political equality, and liberty than does our present system of corporate capitalism.
