Abstract

Abstract Valdimir Orlando Key, Jr. – known to all and sundry as “V. O.” – was the leading student of American politics during the mid‐twentieth century. This reputation was due in part to the substantive breadth and descriptive richness of his writings. Yet Key also had a set of theoretically distinctive ways of thinking about American politics, some of which endure as analytic influences a half‐century later, others of which are diagnostic of a way of thinking that was destined to go out of fashion. On the one hand, then, he was an important figure in the “behavioral revolution” in postwar political science. On the other, his work was always consciously informed by central questions from political theory.
