The Incidence of Some Voting Paradoxes Under Domain Restrictions
Voting paradoxes have played an important role in the theory of voting. They typically say very little about the circumstances in which they are particularly likely or unlikely to occur. They are basically existence findings. In this article we study some well known voting paradoxes under the assumption that the underlying profiles are drawn from the Condorcet domain, i.e. a set of preference profiles where a Condorcet winner exists. The motivati…

Models of Political Economy
Models of Political Economy will introduce students to the basic methodology of political economics. It covers all core theories as well as new developments including: decision theory game theory mechanism design games of asymmetric information. Hannu Nurmi's text will prove to be invaluable to all students who wish to understand this increasingly technical field

Which Decision Rule for the Future Council
Decisions in the Council of Ministers continue to be surrounded by secrecy as far as the details of the decision-making process are concerned. Most of the research on reform efforts has focused on increasing transparency and on facilitating the management of various auxiliary bodies of the Council. In addition, a central focus has been placed on re-weighting of votes among the member states. In this article we argue that the current method of fin…

A priori power measures and the institutions of the european union
The a priori voting powers of member countries in the council of ministers of the European Union have been discussed in the literature mainly from the view–point of Banzhaf and Shapley–Shubik indices. This paper discusses — in the light of these and other more recent (Colomer's, Holler's as well as Deegan and Packel's) power indices — the interaction of the council ministers and the European Parliament (EP) under the assumption that the consent o…
Consensus Under Fuzziness
This work focuses on consensus formation in multiperson decision-making groups using imprecise information. The editors have solicited and organized important contributions on this subject from leading experts in the field. The well-known contributors include Ronald Yager, Henri Prade, George Klier, and János Fodor, among others. These contributions are original and are concerned with issues related to modeling and monitoring of consensus-reachin…
The representation of voter groups in the European Parliament
Referendum Design
The formal status of the referendum institution in democratic system varies from consultative and optional to mandatory and binding. Despit the formal status, it can be argued that in all systems the legislators can hardly ignore the referendum results. The article presents two arguments: (1) The results of social choice theory suggest that the number of alternatives in referenda should to be restricted to two in order to a void severe problems o…
It's not just the lack of monotonicity1
Non‐monotonicity is not the sole or the most important shortcoming of STV. In light of its theoretical deficiencies, are there any better alternatives to first‐past‐the‐post voting
Problems in the Theory of Institutional Design
Many political institutions can be viewed as methods for achieving desired outcomes. The problem of institutional design is that of finding a mechanism that would result in those desired outcomes as game-theoretic equilibria. Some results from the institutional design literature are reviewed, and it is argued that many of them are based on assumptions that should be critically examined. We focus on behavioural and information-related assumptions …
The Distribution of A Priori Voting Power in the EC Council of Ministers and the European Parliament
One of the most important decision making bodies in the EC is the Council of Ministers. In that voting body the member states have different voting weights roughly in proportion to the size of their populations. This article focuses on the voting power of current and prospective member states (Finland, Norway and Sweden) utililizing the Shapley‐Shubik and Banzhaf indices of voting power. As the decision rules play a crucial role in the computatio…
An assessment of voting system simulations
Computational Approaches to Bargaining and Choice
The theory of computation and automata has occasionally aroused some interest among political scientists. The article outlines some early applications, although the main emphasis is on the most recent ones. We concentrate on the applications to bargaining and negotiation procedures. It is argued that many existing bargaining procedures can be essentially improved by resorting to cryptographic protocols

A Game-Theoretic Approach to Political Characteristics of East-West Trade
The article focuses on game-theoretic explanations of some special features of East- West trade. In particular, the fact that there is a rather low level of economic cooperation between the parties, even though a higher level would undoubtedly benefit both, is discussed in the light of the Edgeworth Box and elementary games. The games utilized in the explanation and analysis are 2 x 2 games of non-zero-sum variety. Moreover, we discuss the role o…
Some properties of the Lehrer-Wagner method for reaching rational consensus
Voting Procedures
Roughly two centuries ago the Marquis de Condorcet and Chevalier Jean-Charles de Borda originated a research tradition – by no means a continuous one – that over the decades has produced results casting doubt on many widely used collective decision-making procedures. The phenomenon known as the Condorcet effect or the Condorcet paradox is the well-known problem of the simple majority rule. The paradox bearing the name of Borda is less commonly kn…

On the Properties of Voting Systems
The article focuses on the problem of choosing the ‘best’ voting procedure for making collective decisions. The procedures discussed are simple majority rule, Borda count, approval voting, and maximin method. The first three have been axiomatized while the maximin method has not yet been given an axiomatic characterization. The properties, in terms of which the goodness of the procedures is assessed, are dictatorship, consistency, path independen…

On Riker's Theory of Political Succession
Riker's view of the dynamical forces of political systems singles out disequilibrium, strategic voting and agenda‐manipulation as the pervasive features determining the nature of political change. We shall investigate these characteristics in some detail and thereafter evaluate the methodological aspects of Riker's theory. Some observations on the general relevance of the equilibrium analysis of multi‐dimensional spatial voting models for the stu…
