Features: This book is a comprehensive evaluation of the rational choice theory in political science. Half a century ago, rational choice theory was established, and although it has created a concise and rigorous political science, the author, after analyzing the advantages of "rational choice theory" (such as research on collective action, parties, politicians, and cyclical voting), finds that rational choice theory does not live up to its name. The book further explains that we need innovative thinking to enable the various models of rational choice theory to contribute to political science research and political operations. After the English edition of this book was published, academic debates arose, and those interested in political and sociological theories must read it.
