Exits, Voices and Social Investment: Citizens' Reaction to Public Services
ISBN: 9781107484184 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Over fifty years ago, Albert Hirschman argued that dissatisfied consumers could either voice complaint or exit when they were dissatisfied with goods or services. Loyal consumers would voice rather than exit. Hirschman argued that making exit easier from publicly provided services, such as health or education, would reduce voice, taking the richest and most articulate away and this would lead to the deterioration of public services. This book provides the first thorough empirical study of these ideas. Using a modified version of Hirschman's account, examining private and collective voice, and...

Rational Choice and Political Power
ISBN: 9781852783358 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book applies rational choice theory to the power debate, demonstrating the fallacious arguments of all sides. Power is analyzed as a bargaining game where the power of actors is assessed in terms of the resources to which they have access. By distinguishing luck from power it shows that many groups widely regarded as powerful are merely lucky, albeit their luck is based upon systematic features of society. This conceptual book on power directly engages both classical and modern empirical debates on the power structure at both local and national level.
