Voting Paradoxes and How to Deal with Them

Hannu Nurmi

Springer, 1999

Neat Little Book
I have some passing familiarity with game theory and I'm a political junkie, so I couldn't resist checking it out when I stumbled across it. It is most definitely a technical volume, and the reader should not be intimidated by quantitative reasoning. I particularly ...
