The Political Economy of Bargaining
Modern political economy is a rapidly growing field, a fusion of
economics and political science. In a political economy context, bargaining focuses
on the issues that arise when self-interested actors with partially
conflicting preferences make joint decisions over public policies.
Conflicts play out differently depending on the political institutuion;
discussion will include the implications of direct versus represntative democracy and
presidential versus parliamentary systems.
