Playing Politics,
a rational-choice workbook of sixteen games, is designed to
help students understand the logic behind political decision-making,
from creating a constitution to formulating foreign policy.
Played in class in 30 to 45 minutes and easily adaptable to
any class size, whether 30 or 300 students, these games illustrate
such concepts as the importance of rules, the difficulty of
collective action, and the rationality of political decisions.
