{"product_id":"9781876843182","title":"Intentional Social Change: A Rational Choice Theory","description":"Why do some efforts to implement social change succeed while others fail? Yoshimichi Sato observes in this book that existing theories focus on social action at either the micro- or the macro-level, but are unable to explain the multi-level transitions. Sato argues that efforts to effect social change at the macro-level stimulate responses at the micro-level, and it is the accumulation of these micro-level social actions that determines the macro- level social outcomes. Turning to game theory to analyze these multi-level transitions, Sato concludes that intentional social change is successful when the change agents anticipate and control the range of responses of micro-level social actors such that the responses to the change agent's endeavors accumulate towards the desired outcome.","brand":"Trans Pacific Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039474303216,"sku":"9781876843182","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781876843182_p0.jpg?v=1763602610","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781876843182","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
