He established the of —in which political outcomes are enacted through competitive, if unequal, interest groups—and introduced ' as a descriptor of actual democratic governance. An originator of 'empirical theory' and known for advancing characterizations of political power, Dahl's research focused on the nature of decision making in actual institutions, such as American cities. Dahl is considered one of the most influential political social scientists of the twentieth century, and has been described as 'the dean of American political scientists.' Professor Dahl received his undergraduate degree from the in 1936.

He then went on to receive his Ph.D. At Yale in 1940 and served on its political science faculty from 1946 to 1986. His influential early books include A Preface to Democratic Theory (1956), (1961), and Pluralist Democracy in the United States (1967), which presented pluralistic explanations for political rule in the United States.

Mills held that America's governments are in the grasp of a unitary and demographically narrow power elite. Dahl responded that there are many different elites involved, who have to work both in contention and in compromise with one another. If this is not democracy in a sense, Dahl contended, it is at least (or ). In perhaps his best known work, (1961), he examines the power structures (both formal and informal) in the city of, as a case study, and finds that it supports this view. From the late 1960s onwards, his conclusions were challenged by scholars such as and (a friend and colleague of Dahl).

In (2001) Dahl argued that the is much less democratic than it ought to be, given that its authors were operating from a position of 'profound ignorance' about the future. However, he adds that there is little or nothing that can be done about this 'short of some constitutional breakdown, which I neither foresee nor, certainly, wish for.' Influence terms [ ] One of his many contributions is his explication of the varieties of power, which he defines as A getting B to do what A wants.

Dahl prefers the more neutral 'influence terms' (Michael G. Roskin), which he arrayed on a scale from best to worst: • Rational Persuasion, the nicest form of influence, means telling the truth and explaining why someone should do something, like a doctor convincing a patient to stop smoking. • Manipulative persuasion, a notch lower, means lying or misleading to get someone to do something. • Inducement, still lower, means offering rewards or punishments to get someone to do something, like bribery.

• Power threatens severe punishment, such as jail or loss of a job. • Coercion is power with no way out. • Physical force is backing up coercion with use or threat of bodily harm.

Thus, the governments that use influence at the higher end of the scale are best. The worst use the unpleasant forms of influence at the lower end. [ ] Democracy and polyarchies [ ]. • (1925-26) • (1926-27) • Jesse S.
