Social Choice and Legitimacy: The Possibilities of Impossibility - Political Economy of Institutions and Decisions
Patty, John W. (Washington University, St Louis)
Governing requires choices, and hence trade-offs between conflicting goals or criteria. This book asserts that legitimate governance requires explanations for such trade-offs and then demonstrates that such explanations can always be found, though not for every possible choice.
