Who Governs? Noren-Nilsson Astrid
American political theorist Robert Dahl's 1961 work of political theory exhibits deep levels of creative thinking. But by connecting the evidence in a new way in Who Governs? When Dahl wrote, the American system of liberal democracy was generally considered to be shaped by a small group of powerful individuals who dominate because they are wealthy and influential.
He puts forward a definition of political power as the ability to make others do what you want them to, concluding that - while most people do not actively participate in politics and so do not exert a direct influence - power is still fragmented, and citizens do indirectly shape decision-making.Dahl's novel explanation of Dahl argued convincingly against this view.Dahl suggested that power is actually distributed among a number of competing groups, and that each of those groups seeks to influence decisions.
