This book brings together the most important theoretical work of
James S. Coleman on problems of collective action. Coleman's work
has formed a consistent and highly distinguished attempt to find an
account of the workings of social and political processes rooted in
the rationality of the individual participants. The chapters
address in various ways the fundamental Hobbesian problem of order;
the question of how a set of self-interested individuals can arrive
at some kind of social order. The volume is organised in three
parts. The essays in Part I address the problem of social choice as
a fundamental problem of the functioning of social systems. Those
in Part II deal with relations of power as a crucial aspect of the
relations between individual actions and their social consequences.
Part III considers the question of the creation of collectivities
and the rights that are allocated under them. As a whole, the
volume demonstrates the integration and force of the views Coleman
has developed.
