Description
Rational Choice and Political Power by Keith Dowding is a significant work that explores power in societies using rational choice theory. A new introduction and two new chapters have been added to this edition, engaging with recent literature to provide fresh insights into the nature of power. The author examines how groups can be powerless despite not facing resistance, and discusses the relationship between structure and agency in measuring power across different societies. This book is an important resource for those studying or teaching power in sociology, philosophy, politics, or international relations, offering a unique perspective on both classical and contemporary debates. This new edition makes this influential work available in paperback and online, providing a valuable contribution to the field of political science and history.
