Description

Gain a fresh perspective on government through the lens of the principal-agent framework. This Routledge publication offers a detailed analysis of political institutions, viewing them as tools designed to manage the constant principal-agent game in politics. The text examines the methods used to select, instruct, monitor, and evaluate political agents and elites to ensure they act according to the needs and preferences of the population. This book goes beyond standard political theory by exploring whether evolutionary mechanisms exist that guide humanity toward rule of law regimes on both domestic and global scales. By combining a cross-sectional approach with rigorous analysis, it provides a unique way to understand how political structures function and evolve. It is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in international law, political science, and the mechanics of governance.
