It discusses the main existing theories  including the size principle, conflict of interest theory, dominant  player theory, policy distance theory and power excess theory. In  addition, the book offers new theories of coalition formation in which  the endogenous formation of preferences for coalitions is basic. Both  simple game theory and social choice theory are extensively applied in  the treatment of the theories. This combined application not only  leads to new theories but also offers a new and fresh perspective on  coalition formation and collective decision-making in committees.  \u003cbr\u003e  The book covers the fundamental concepts and results of social choice  theory including Arrow's Impossibility Theorem. Furthermore, it gives  a coherent treatment of the theory of simple games. Besides more  traditional topics in simple game theory like power indices, it also  introduces new aspects of simple games such as the Chow parameter, the  Chow vector and the notion of similar games.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31 October 1997\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer US\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780792347507\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e244\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50803462930572,"sku":"9780792347507","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792347507.jpg?v=1781753076","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792347507","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
