{"product_id":"self-interest-and-public-interest-in-leif-lewin-9780198277255","title":"Self-Interest and Public Interest in Western Politics","description":"Is it self-interest or public interest that dominates Western politics? In this book, which combines in a novel way insights from different fields, including rational choice theory, political philosophy, and electoral research, Leif Lewin examines more than two- hundred studies of democracy in action from seventeen countries. He looks at the behavior and attitudes of voters, bureaucrats, and politicians, in turn, and shows that the plausible and prevalent theory that egoism rules simply doesn't match the facts. This intriguing study will be of special interest to students of comparative politics, West European politics, political science, and economics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leif Lewin,Donald Lavery\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198277253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198277255\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.46h x 5.54w x 0.42d","brand":"Leif Lewin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47419011236095,"sku":"9780198277255","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dfa7d4bc-b278-4973-999a-097f960b2f9a.jpg?v=1761508907","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/self-interest-and-public-interest-in-leif-lewin-9780198277255","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
