Synopsis

"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
