The Oxford Handbook of Public Choice provides a comprehensive
overview of the research in economics, political science, law, and
sociology that has generated considerable insight into the politics
of democratic and authoritarian systems as well as the influence of
different institutional frameworks on incentives and outcomes. The
result is an improved understanding of public policy, public
finance, industrial organization, and macroeconomics as the
combination of political and economic analysis shed light on how
various interests compete both within a given rules of the games
and, at times, to change the rules. These volumes include
analytical surveys, syntheses, and general overviews of the many
subfields of public choice focusing on interesting, important, and
at times contentious issues. Throughout the focus is on enhancing
understanding how political and economic systems act and interact,
and how they might be improved. Both volumes combine methodological
analysis with substantive overviews of key topics. This first
volume covers voting and elections; interest group competition and
rent seeking, including corruption and various normative approaches
to evaluating policies and politics. Throughout both volumes
important analytical concepts and tools are discussed, including
their application to substantive topics. Readers will gain
increased understanding of rational choice and its implications for
collective action; various explanations of voting, including
economic and expressive; the role of taxation and finance in
government dynamics; how trust and persuasion influence political
outcomes; and how revolution, coups, and authoritarianism can be
explained by the same set of analytical tools as enhance
understanding of the various forms of democracy.
