Constitutions As Relational Contracts
This article analyzes constitutions as relational contracts designed to facilitate long-term relationships. We use transaction resource theory to model the decisions involved in contracting. It explains how rational actors will resolve among themselves three distinct but intertwined problems of cooperation: coordination, division, and defection. The theory identifies conditions, such as increasing population size and heterogeneity, under which de…
Rational Rhetoric in Politics
During the debate over ratifying the U.S. Constitution, both the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists offered inconsistent arguments. They violated principles of transitivity (e.g., statements such as "A furthers B" and "B furthers C" coexist with the statement "A hinders C"). Using cognitive mapping to extract the network of causal assertions offered during the debate, and transaction resource theory to identify game-theoretic structures in thes…
The Contractual Architecture of Public Policy
We outline a theory of public policy using our transaction space model of contractual analysis. This approach is based on transaction cost economics, game theory, and the contractual paradigm. It treats government activities, including statutes and the organizations that administer them, as long-term contracts negotiated to economize on the costs of decision making. We return to Theodore Lowi's typology of public policies--although our constructi…
Bargaining and Constitutional Contracts
erms, government rights prove to be no more than citizen rights elaborated in greater detail to empower and to constrain citizens who specialize as enforcing agents. Government rights are (1) to be a central party common to all contracts, (2) to monitor strategic positions, (3) to establish agreements therein, (4) to exercise legitimate coercive authority, and (5) to maintain its own strategic position.3 If any of these are absent, the government…
Demographic factors affecting constitutional decisions
Redefining Civil Rights in Municipal Government
This paper analyzes the preconditions for institutional reform in urban government. Using a political economy framework, it is argued that citizens obtain from their charter a set of civil rights in local government. But these rights change de facto under the influence of population migration and other exogenous forces in the environment of the municipality. This induces change, de jure, in the charier and in the institutions it describes. After …
