This major reference collection presents in three volumes the key
articles and papers on social choice theory.Volume One centres
attention on key aspects of the debate on Arrow's impossibility
theorem, carefully counter-poising differing viewpoints and
embracing competing methodologies. In a field prone to the
excessive use of mathematics and of arcane high theory, Charles
Rowley skilfully presents a literature which is accessible to
non-mathematicians and yet which offers full coverage of all the
major debates. Volumes two and three extend the coverage of social
choice theory to review the attempts of leading scholars to resolve
the ageless problems of determining social goals and reconciling
apparent inconsistencies among such goals. Professor Rowley
carefully guides the reader through a litany of approaches, both
methodological individualist and social engineering, ends-related
and process-related in nature. Volume two reprints leading
contributions to the utilitarian and contractarian ethics while
volume three completes this exercise with material on the social
justice and contractarian ethics. Professor Rowley's own
introductory essay exposes the social choice research programme to
his own Virginian critique, while integrating a large, diffuse
literature into a unified whole.
