Rational Choice

by Andrew Hindmoor

Rational choice is the dominant theoretical approach in political science in North America and one of the main contending approaches elsewhere. This major new text provides a clear and accessible introduction assuming no prior knowledge and providing a uniquely fair-minded assessment of both the strengths and limitations of the approach. Truly international in scope and in its choice of examples, it provides broad-ranging coverage of the areas in which rational choice has been widely used and in-depth coverage of the main works of its key protagonists.

I mean, you have to really be into game theory and political science to get into this one.

Excellent overview of many important debates within rational choice theory. Balanced, clear and with plenty of good examples.
