Formal Models of Domestic Politics offers a unified and accessible approach to canonical and important new models of politics. Intended for political science and economics students who have already taken a course in game theory, this new edition retains the widely appreciated pedagogic approach of the first edition. Coverage has been expanded to include a new chapter on nondemocracy; new material on valance and issue ownership, dynamic veto and legislative bargaining, delegation to leaders by imperfectly informed politicians, and voter competence; and numerous additional exercises. Political economists, comparativists, and Americanists will all find models in the text central to their research interests. This leading graduate textbook assumes no mathematical knowledge beyond basic calculus, with an emphasis placed on clarity of presentation. Political scientists will appreciate the simplification of economic environments to focus on the political logic of models; economists will discover many important models published outside of their discipline; and both instructors and students will value the classroom-tested exercises. This is a vital update to a classic text.

'Formal Models of Domestic Politics is an ideal textbook for students who have completed basic course work in game theory and are gearing up to learn about its most recent applications to political science. For seasoned political economists, it is the perfect reference when they need a quick refresher on a family of models. Gehlbach presents formal theory in a way that not only is inviting to the reader but actually helps original authors get their ideas across more effectively. The new chapter on non-democracy accomplishes this particularly well, finding common elements in seemingly unrelated models in a way that makes the whole so much more than just a sum of its parts. Any political economist should keep this book on hand.' Monika Nalepa, University of Chicago
