Description

Explore the complexities of public policy conflicts with Games Real Actors Play by Fritz Scharpf. Published by Routledge as part of the Theoretical Lenses on Public Policy series, this book offers a persuasive argument for applying basic game theory concepts to understand political decision-making. Fritz Scharpf provides a unique perspective by addressing the limitations found in other frameworks. He critiques public choice theory for its narrow view of actor motives and examines how discursive democracy can overlook the institutional incentives held by political parties. Written with the nonspecialist in mind, this text presents a coherent actor-centered model of institutional rational choice. It successfully integrates various theoretical contributions, including negotiation theory, transaction cost economics, and international relations. This book serves as a valuable resource for students and researchers looking to navigate the connections between actor behavior and institutional structures in the field of government and politics.
