Beyond conventional economics: The limits of rational behaviour in political decision making

'... our intent in this volume is to give an account of the theoretical endeavours of those who seek to construct an approach to the analysis of political decision making that derives largely from economics theory but also recognises and incorporates other areas of inquiry such as philosophy, more traditional political theory and psychology. This volume presents a critical examination of themes relevant to both human behaviour and economics and political institutions... it also offers a state of-the-art tour of new paradigms challenging the dominant economic notion of the individual.' © Giuseppe Eusepi, Alan Hamlin 2006.
