ADDITIONAL REVIEWS:

"Since the math is elementary and the problems familiar, the book can be read both by political scientists not allergic to formal reasoning and by amateurs of mathematics interested in politics. Voting practitioners and designers will be delighted to find thorough discussions of less-known methods. All of them will find the book an interesting introduction to the fascinating subfield of mathematically oriented political science that analyzes and invents constructive institutional solutions to social dilemmas."--Marek Kaminski, Political Science Quarterly

ADDITIONAL ENDORSEMENTS:

"Professor Brams is one of the leading political scientists of our time, and one of the best-known authorities in the field of applied decision, game, and social choice theory. So, the level of expectations regarding his scholarly output is much higher than for most other authors. Yet, I believe this book surpasses that level."--Hannu Nurmi, University of Turku, Finland
