Features: The importance of public affairs governance in modern society is undeniable. The paradox between individual rationality and public rationality, as well as the conflict between individual interests and public interests, continuously highlight the significance of public affairs governance. The increasing attention to government regulation issues is closely linked to the expectations and responsibilities bestowed upon governments by modern constitutional systems, as well as inseparable from the growing interdependence in modern society. The purpose of this book is to explain the foundation and methods of government regulation through institutions and institutional change. It explores the underlying essence behind various names and forms, and attempts to identify the strategic choices that dominate different government regulations, employing the analytical tools of game theory. This book merely touches upon this field, representing a preliminary and exploratory study.
