One chapter critically addresses the social-choice approach to majority decisions, whereas another presents an alternative to that approach. Extensive case studies discuss majority voting in the choice of religion in early modern Switzerland, majority voting in nested assemblies such as the French Estates-General and the Federal Convention, majority voting in federally organized countries, qualified majority voting in the European Union Council of Ministers, and majority voting on juries. Other chapters address the relation between majority decisions and cognitive diversity, the causal origin of majority decisions, and the pathologies of majority decision making. Two chapters, finally, discuss the counter-majoritarian role of courts that exercise judicial review. The editorial Introduction surveys conceptual, causal, and normative issues that arise in the theory and practice of majority decisions"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Majorities $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Democracy $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Voting $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Judicial review $v Case studies. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / History & Theory. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 650 7 $a Democracy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890077 650 7 $a Judicial review. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984727 650 7 $a Majorities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01006241 650 7 $a Voting. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01169232 700 1 $a Novak, SteÌphanie, $e editor. 700 1 $a Elster, Jon, $d 1940- $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217031926.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7864FECC4DE711E4A85DE8D9DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
