Political and economic institutions are typically governed by committees that face the challenge to reconcile the preferences of their members. How should decision rules be designed to generate fair and sustainable agreements, for example if committee members represent groups of different sizes? This book uses game-theoretic concepts and models to address the issue of political decision-making processes. In addition to providing a survey on basic game-theoretic tools in the analysis of political decisions, the author looks at specific issues such as two-tiered voting systems or the influence of lobbyists on legislative committees, and shows how the models can be applied to real-world contexts such as the EU decision-making institutions.

This one-of-a-kind volume exploits a new and previously unexplored set of data, one that promises to yield rich insights into the processes of internal committee policies in Congress. The Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970 required congressional committees to record and make available all roll-call votes taken in committee. The authors have collected the record of these votes for the 92nd through the 96th Congresses, and use this material to unravel and compare the internal features of committee decision-making.

"The Lawgivers' Struggle explains how the U.S. Congress exercises its constitutional authorities to formulate and shape American national security policy, sometimes in support of administration priorities and sometimes in opposition to them. Drawing on the author's experiences as a congressional staffer working for the House Armed Services Committee, it describes the processes that Congress uses and the tools it has as its disposal to wield influence in national security decisions. The book illuminates the legislative process, explaining the "how" and "why" of congressional decision making. It describes the dynamic that characterizes the relationship between the executive and legislative branches of government and the historical origins of the power struggle between the branches that continues to this day. The book serves as a valuable resource for students, government professionals, and everyday American citizens who wish to better understand how their government works"--
