The following essays are devoted to the work of Robert A. Dahl (1915-2014), whose immensely productive scholarly career spanned more than half a century. His first book was published in 1950 and his last in 2007 at the age of 92. During these years, he published numerous articles and more than twenty books. After spending his entire academic career as a member of the Department of Political Science at Yale University, he retired in 1986 and served thereafter as Sterling Professor Emeritus of Political Science and Senior Research Scientist in Sociology at Yale.
