	UnNamed
		Dahl seems to bring a message throughout the book that his reasons for supporting democracy is not that it is flawless, instead alternative governments eliminate the best parts of democracy.
		Dahl takes on this task by working very methodically through this large topic and not straying to tangents of ideas even when they might be beneficial to the reader.
		In the same section Dahl identifies that when he uses the term “popular government” he is referring to a government that is democratic aside for its exclusion of some adult population from suffrage or some other political participation.

	Set in Stone? - Books and Arts
		Dahl chisels away at perceptions of the Constitution as a "sacred text." The sole measure of the Constitution, Dahl argues, should be "its utility as an instrument of democratic government," not centuries of mystique.
		Dahl astutely rejects the claim that the American government is a republic and not a democracy, a claim often used to legitimate aristocratic privilege in government.
		Dahl's approach to the Constitution is a welcome examination of its utility as a democratic instrument.

	Encyclopedia: Robert Dahl
		Polyarchy, as defined by Robert Dahl (coiner of the term and creator of the theory), has seven attributes: 1) elected officials; 2) free and fair elections; 3) inclusive suffrage; 4) the right to run for office; 5) freedom of expression; 6) alternative information; and 7) associational autonomy.
		Robert A. Dahl (New Haven, Yale University Press, 1973).
		Dahl responded that there are many different elites involved, who have to work both in contention and in compromise with one another.

	POSC 339 - Handout on Robert Dahl
		Dahl proposes such a measurement scheme which is rather complex.
		The Madisonian theory of democracy is an effort to bring off a comprmise between the power of majorities and the power of minorities, between the political equality of all adult citizens on the one side and the desire to limit their sovereignty on the other.
		In his measurement scheme, each of the eight limiting conditions is measured on a scale of 0 to 1 where 1 represents the full compliance with the condition, and 0 means noncompliance.

	FindLaw's Writ - Herrington: A Review of Robert Alan Dahl's Recent Book on Democracy and the Constitution
		Professor Dahl seems to be saying, sure, the Founders were swell, but there were some things they just couldn't know about, and so we should just recognize this and should not get emotional about ripping up their handiwork in the Constitution.
		Finally, the danger of the ideals Professor Dahl sincerely and fervently holds - and, it should be said, has held for many years - can be demonstrated conclusively with an illustration of the essential incongruity of the result when individual threads of the argument are brought together.
		To my view, the root defect in Professor Dahl's interpretation of the works of the Framers and his radical agenda for empowering majorities is this: a blind spot for the problem of agency costs.

	A PREFACE TO ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY: ROBERT A
		A PREFACE TO ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY: ROBERT A. While doing my doctoral studies at the University of California at Berkeley, Robert Dahl of Yale was invited to give the Jefferson Memorial Lectures in 1981.
		Dahl concludes by recognizing that Americans are: “...torn between two conflicting visions of what American society is and ought to be.” (p.162) One is democracy with political equality and political liberty.
		Dahl notes that over the intervening years history has established a very strong correlation between economic well—being and democracy.

		Democracy and Power in an American City, by Robert A. Dahl
		...Dahl does say that more "economic dominants" were involved in urban renewal than in the other issues he discusses, but he detracts from the value of his study by omitting to identify the dominants concretely...
		...I am suggesting, in other words, that even though Dahl has advanced a highly sophisticated model of community power, he may yet have left out important variables which in certain circumstances and in certain areas can be major determinants of actual decisions...

	The New Yorker: The Critics: Books
		Robert A. Dahl, whose new book's title asks the question "How Democratic Is the American Constitution?" (Yale; $19.95), is not a crank.
		Dahl writes, "In effect, those fifteen words end all possibility of amending the Constitution in order to reduce the unequal representation of citizens in the Senate." I'm not so sure.
		Dahl points out, amiably but sharply, that the Federalist Papers were an exercise in spin.

	The New York Review of Books: WORKER SELF-MANAGEMENT
		Now we are confronted with Robert Dahl, the father of pluralism—or what has been called "the theory of democratic elitism"—advocating workers' self-management.
		Quite the contrary: self-management to Dahl means only that the employees of a firm take over the stockholders' nominal function of electing the directors, who in turn contract with management to run the company.
		More generally, Dahl's main fault is his unwillingness to recognize that workers' self-management cannot be isolated from the context in which it arises.

	Amazon.com: Polyarchy : Participation and Opposition: Books: Robert A. Dahl
		Dahl's work, which has been cited by countless political scientists since it was first published, provides a useful framework for the examination of democracy (which is not quite equivalent to what he terms 'polyarchy'; democracy consists of a bit more than a polyarchal system).
		Dahl goes on to outline the benefits of a polyarchal system and the various ways in which such a system can be achieved.
		Yet, Dahl also recognizes that the transition to polyarchy is neither inevitable nor invariably desirable.

	Skagway Memories: After the Gold Rush by Robert Dahl
		In this highly personal tale of Robert Dahl's years in Skagway, we meet the people of the town—at school, at work, at play, hunting and fishing.
		Dahl has said that growing up in the small town of Skagway instilled in him a life-long love of people and a fascination with the ways in which we address our communal problems—factors that lie at the heart of his interest in the workings of democracy
		Although some buildings remaining from the Gold Rush days made sections of Skagway look like a ghost town, the young boy from the plains of Iowa was entranced by the wild beauty of the surrounding mountains, which he would explore in the years to come.
