Description
Over the course of the past decade, the behavioral analysis of decisions by the
Supreme Court has turned to game theory to gain new insights into this important institution in
American politics. Game theory highlights the role of strategic interactions between the Court
and other institutions in the decisions the Court makes as well as in the relations among the
justices as they make their decisions. Rather than assume that the justices’ votes reveal
their sincere preferences, students of law and politics have come to examine how the strategic
concerns of the justices lead to "sophisticated" behavior as they seek to maximize
achievement of their goals when faced with constraints on their ability to do
so.
In Institutional Games and the U.S. Supreme
Court, James Rogers, Roy Flemming, and Jon Bond gather various essays that use game
theory to explain the Supreme Court's interactions with Congress, the states, and the lower
courts. Offering new ways of understanding the complexity and consequences of these
interactions, the volume joins a growing body of work that considers these influential
interactions among various branches of the U.S.
government.
