Zusammenfassung:"Private Desires, Political Action is an accessible overview of one of the most important approaches to the study of politics in the modern world - rational choice theory. Michael Laver does not set out to review this entire field, but rather to discuss how we might use rational choice theory to analyse the political competition that affects almost every aspect of our lives." "The comprehensive and broad-ranging scope of the book introduces the theory at many levels of analysis, including the private desires of individuals, the social context of how people fulfil their desires and the problems of collective action. The discussion of these issues extends into the arena of politics and explores the activities of "political entrepreneurs" (or politicians) and the formation of political parties and coalitions." "Private Desires, Political Action provides reading for students and researchers alike in the fields of political science and political theory."--Jacket.
