| 505 | 8 | |a This is the first comprehensive critical evaluation of the use of rational choice explanations in political science. Writing in an accessible and nontechnical style, Donald P. Green and Ian Shapiro assess rational choice theory where it is reputed to be most successful: the study of collective action, the behavior of political parties and politicians, and such phenomena as voting cycles and Prisoner's Dilemmas. In their hard-hitting critique, Green and Shapiro demonstrate that the much-heralded achievements of rational choice theory are in fact deeply suspect and that fundamental rethinking is needed if rational choice theorists are to contribute to the understanding of politics. Green and Shapiro show that empirical tests of rational choice theories are marred by a series of methodological defects. These defects flow from the characteristic rational choice impulse to defend universal theories of politics. As a result, many tests are so poorly conducted as to be irrelevant to evaluating rational choice models. Tests that are properly conducted either tend to undermine rational choice theories or to lend support for propositions that are banal. Green and Shapiro offer numerous suggestions as to how rational choice propositions might be reformulated as parts of testable hypotheses for the study of politics. In a final chapter they anticipate and respond to a variety of rational choice counterarguments, thereby initiating a dialogue that is bound to continue for some time | |

Green, Ian Shapiro Critique of applications in political science New Haven Yale University Press [1994] © 1994 1 online resource (xi, 239 pages) illustrations txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Description based on print version record 1. Rationality in Politics and Economics --- 2. The Nature of Rational Choice --- 3. Methodological Pathologies --- 4. The Paradox of Voter Turnout --- 5. Social Dilemmas --- 6. Legislative Behaviour and the Paradox of Voting --- 7. Spatial Theories of Electoral Competition --- 8. Responses to Likely Counterarguments This is the first comprehensive critical evaluation of the use of rational choice explanations in political science. Writing in an accessible and nontechnical style, Donald P. Green and Ian Shapiro assess rational choice theory where it is reputed to be most successful: the study of collective action, the behavior of political parties and politicians, and such phenomena as voting cycles and Prisoner's Dilemmas. In their hard-hitting critique, Green and Shapiro demonstrate that the much-heralded achievements of rational choice theory are in fact deeply suspect and that fundamental rethinking is needed if rational choice theorists are to contribute to the understanding of politics. Green and Shapiro show that empirical tests of rational choice theories are marred by a series of methodological defects. These defects flow from the characteristic rational choice impulse to defend universal theories of politics. As a result, many tests are so poorly conducted as to be irrelevant to evaluating rational choice models. Tests that are properly conducted either tend to undermine rational choice theories or to lend support for propositions that are banal. Green and Shapiro offer numerous suggestions as to how rational choice propositions might be reformulated as parts of testable hypotheses for the study of politics. In a final chapter they anticipate and respond to a variety of rational choice counterarguments, thereby initiating a dialogue that is bound to continue for some time Política / Metodología Rationele keuze gtt Politieke wetenschappen gtt Choix rationnels, Théorie des Science politique / Méthodologie Rationalité ram Science politique / Méthodologie ram Choix rationnels, Théorie des ram Décision politique ram Politische Wissenschaft swd Methode swd Entscheidungstheorie swd Rational Choice swd Entscheidungstheorie gnd Methode gnd Politische Wissenschaft gnd Rational Choice gnd POLITICAL SCIENCE / Essays bisacsh POLITICAL SCIENCE / Government / General bisacsh POLITICAL SCIENCE / Government / National bisacsh POLITICAL SCIENCE / Reference bisacsh Political science / Methodology fast Rational choice theory fast Politische Wissenschaft Rational choice theory Political science Methodology Politische Wissenschaft (DE-588)4076229-4 gnd rswk-swf Methode (DE-588)4038971-6 gnd rswk-swf Entscheidungstheorie (DE-588)4138606-1 gnd rswk-swf Rational Choice (DE-588)4274923-2 gnd rswk-swf Politische Wissenschaft (DE-588)4076229-4 s Methode (DE-588)4038971-6 s 1\p DE-604 Rational Choice (DE-588)4274923-2 s 2\p DE-604 Entscheidungstheorie (DE-588)4138606-1 s 3\p DE-604 Shapiro, Ian Sonstige oth Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe Green, Donald P , 1961-.
