Rigorous yet accessible introduction to social choice theory which avoids the use of technical language. Suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in political science, economics, and philosophy. Provides an overview of the historical and philosophical roots of social choice to aid student understanding. Processes of collective decision making are seen throughout modern society. How does a government decide on an investment strategy within the health care and educational sectors? Should a government or a community introduce measures to combat climate change and CO2 emissions, even if others choose not too? Should a country develop a nuclear capability despite the risk that other countries may follow their lead?.
