Parliamentary democracy involves a never-ending cycle of elections,
government formations, and the need for governments to survive in
potentially hostile environments. These conditions require members
of any government to make decisions on a large number of issues,
some of which sharply divide them. Officials resolve these
divisions by 'logrolling'- conceding on issues they care less
about, in exchange for reciprocal concessions on issues to which
they attach more importance. Though realistically modeling this
'governance cycle' is beyond the scope of traditional formal
analysis, this book attacks the problem computationally in two
ways. Firstly, it models the behavior of "functionally rational"
senior politicians who use informal decision heuristics to navigate
their complex high stakes setting. Secondly, by applying
computational methods to traditional game theory, it uses
artificial intelligence to model how hyper-rational politicians
might find strategies that are close to optimal.
