"Games Real Actors Play" provides a persuasive argument for the use
of basic concepts of game theory in understanding public policy
conflicts. Fritz Scharpf criticizes public choice theory as too
narrow in its examination of actor motives and discursive democracy
as too blind to the institutional incentives of political parties.
With the nonspecialist in mind, the author presents a coherent
actor-centered model of institutional rational choice that
integrates a wide variety of theoretical contributions, such as
game theory, negotiation theory, transaction cost economics,
international relations, and democratic theory."Games Real Actors
Play" offers a framework for linking positive theory to the
normative issues that necessarily arise in policy research and
employs many cross-national examples, including a comparative use
of game theory to understand the differing reactions of Great
Britain, Sweden, Austria, and the Federal Republic of Germany to
the economic stagflation of the 1970s.
