I'm pretty sure it's a reference to Robert Dahl who is the author of a book called, oddly enough, On Democracy. That seems to fit well with your contextual example.

Mmmmm, possibly. Thankyou. contextual example "no involucró la simple implementación de las normas dahlianas"
Better still "nuevamente con los resultados mixtos para la deomcracia dahliana"

Now I write it, what you say seems correct. Ta very much!

It is a surname: Dahl. It is very common in my part of the U.S.A. I think it's of German origin. Without further context, it's hard to determine. It's like saying "Jeffersonian" or "Clintonian". Find out who the famous "Dahl" was and you will find out what he/she espoused.

Don't think so. Believe its a political term relating to democracy/revolution/representation. Keeps popping up in this article im reading, but can't find a translation anywhere-including my spanish spanish dictionary arghhh!
