To 'analyse' means to break into components and understand. But new
readers find modern mathematical theories of politics so
inaccessible that analysis is difficult. Where does one start?
Analytical Politics is an introduction to analytical theories of
politics, explicitly designed both for the interested professional
and students in political science. We cannot evaluate how well
governments perform without some baseline for comparison: what
should governments be doing? This book focuses on the role of the
'center' in politics, drawing from the classical political theories
of Aristotle, Hobbes, Rousseau, and others. The main questions in
Analytical Politics involve the existence and stability of the
center; when does it exist? When should the center guide policy?
How do alternative voting rules help in discovering the center? An
understanding of the work reviewed here is essential for anyone who
hopes to evaluate the performance or predict the actions of
democratic governments.
