| Summary: | This is a fully revised and updated version of Hans van der Doel's Democracy and Welfare Economics. It presents the economic theory of political decision-making (otherwise knownn as new political economy, or public choice), providing students with an accessible and clear introduction to this important subject. The authors identify four different methods of decision-making by which the political process transforms the demands of individual citizens into government policy and public goods and services: negotiation, majority decision, representations and bureaucratic implementation. These are analysed, in turn, as independent decision-making models whose effectiveness is examined with reference to economic theory. A final chapter draws conclusions from this analysis, arguing that the size of the public sector is a result of forces that work in different directions at different stages of the political process |

This is a fully revised and updated version of Hans van der Doel's Democracy and Welfare Economics. It presents the economic theory of political decision-making (otherwise knownn as new political economy, or public choice), providing students with an accessible and clear introduction to this important subject. The authors identify four different methods of decision-making by which the political process transforms the demands of individual citizens into government policy and public goods and services: negotiation, majority decision, representations and bureaucratic implementation. These are analysed, in turn, as independent decision-making models whose effectiveness is examined with reference to economic theory. A final chapter draws conclusions from this analysis, arguing that the size of the public sector is a result of forces that work in different directions at different stages of the political process Welfare economics Democracy Bureaucracy Wohlfahrtsstaat (DE-588)4117641-8 gnd rswk-swf Demokratie (DE-588)4011413-2 gnd rswk-swf Wohlfahrtstheorie (DE-588)4066735-2 gnd rswk-swf Public-Choice-Theorie (DE-588)4233109-2 gnd rswk-swf Ökonomische Theorie der Politik (DE-588)4043214-2 gnd rswk-swf Demokratie (DE-588)4011413-2 s Wohlfahrtstheorie (DE-588)4066735-2 s 1\p DE-604 Wohlfahrtsstaat (DE-588)4117641-8 s 2\p DE-604 Ökonomische Theorie der Politik (DE-588)4043214-2 s 3\p DE-604 Public-Choice-Theorie (DE-588)4233109-2 s 4\p DE-604 Velthoven, Ben van Sonstige oth Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-43057-9 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-43637-3 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511559563 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
