LOGIC OF VOLUNTARY COLLECTIVE ACTION

Öz

This article examines the rationale of voluntary collective action through institutionalist and rational choice perspectives. While it looks into this phenomenon from a standpoint of individual rationalism, it does not overlook social institutions and other exogenous factors. The relevant literature has been reviewed to seek answers to how and why these exogenous factors enter into individual calculations and thus, how the problems of collective actions are resolved

Anahtar Kelimeler

• Problems of collective action, the role of individual rationality, incentives and institutions

Hareket noktası bireysel rasyonalizm olmakla beraber sosyal kurumlar ve diğer çevresel faktörler analiz dışında bırakılmamıştır. İlgili literatür taranarak bu dışsal faktörlerin bireyin yöntem ve sonuçlarla ilgili bilişsel hesaplamalarına nasıl katıldığı ve kolektif hareket problemlerin nasıl çözüldüğü ile ilgili sorulara da yanıtlar aranmaktadır
