It contains a revision of both The Theory of Committees and Elections , and Committee Decisions with Complementary Valuation (with R.A.

By publishing this work in one single volume, one can witness the contributions made by Duncan Black to public choice and social choice. This includes the median voter theory, cyclical majorities , voting rules and strategic behaviour, multidimensional spatial theory, and determining preferences from ballots. This volume should be required reading for all scholars and students of formal political science, public choice or social choice theory.
