Positive Political Theory II - Strategy and Structure (Paperback, New)

"A major piece of work . . . a classic. There is no
other book like it."
--Norman Schofield, Washington University
"The authors succeed brilliantly in tackling a large
number of important questions concerning the
interaction among voters and elected representatives
in the political arena, using a common, rigorous
language."
--Antonio Merlo, University of Pennsylvania
"Positive Political Theory II: Strategy and Structure"
is the second volume in Jeffrey Banks and David
Austen-Smith's monumental study of the links
between individual preferences and collective choice.
The book focuses on representative systems, including
both elections and legislative decision-making
processes, clearly connecting individual preferences to
collective outcomes. This book is not a survey. Rather,
it is the coherent, cumulative result of the authors'
brilliant efforts to indirectly connect preferences to
collective choice through strategic behaviors such as
agenda-selection and voting.
The book will be an invaluable reference and teaching
tool for economists and political scientists, and an
essential companion to any scholar interested in the
latest theoretical advances in positive political theory.
