Obviously, the application of these  concepts to political institutions, more specifically, to the analysis  of the European Union and, as it seems, the election of the President  of the United States is getting more and more popular. There are,  however, also new theoretical instruments and perspectives that  support these applications: First of all, the probabilistic model of  coalition formation has to be mentioned which is made operational by  the multilinear extension of the characteristic function form of  coalition games. This instrument triggered off a reinterpretation of  existing power indices and the formulation of new indices. This  development is accompanied by an intensive discussion of the concept  of power in general - what do we measure when we apply power measures?  - and the properties that an adequate measure of power has to satisfy.  Various concepts of monotonicity were proposed as litmus test. The  discussion shows that the underlying theories of coalition formation  play a decisive role. \u003cbr\u003e  New results will be discussed in this volume. Its contributions put  flesh and blood on the theoretical innovations and their applications  that led to a growing interest in power indices and coalition  formation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792373599\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4757-6221-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 386\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265715916940,"sku":"9780792373599","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792373599.jpg?v=1770789036","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792373599","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
