Mathematics and Democracy

Exploring the intersection of mathematics and democratic processes, Steven Brams presents innovative solutions to enhance decision-making in politics and conflict resolution. By applying social-choice and game theory, he introduces new procedures that empower voters to express their preferences more effectively and facilitate fairer divisions of contested goods. This work aims to improve the democratic nature of political and social institutions through rigorous mathematical analysis, making a compelling case for the integration of mathematical principles in governance and dispute resolution.
