{"product_id":"9783668451933","title":"Solutions to Collective Action Problems","description":"Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Philosophy - Philosophy of the Present, grade: 1,4, Frankfurt School of Finance \u0026amp; Management, language: English, abstract: Collective action problems describe a situation where aggregated individual rational behaviour creates decreased collective welfare. They can be described as \"social dilemmas\" according to Holzinger, 2003. Based on this definition, it is possible to identify a discrepancy in between what is regarded rational on an individual level and the collective common \"good\". Therefore, in a collective action problem micro-level behaviour translates into undesirable macro-level effects, which manifest in decreased collective welfare. \u003cp\u003eBased on this first definition, this study focuses on two central aspects: 1. providing a possible explanation of how collective action problems derive from rational individual behaviour 2. providing possible solutions to collective problems. To put abstract theory into a reality oriented context, this study furthermore focuses in the discussion of the nature and problematics of collective action problems on Hardin's tragedy of the commons (ToC).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bod Third Party Titles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47037325607152,"sku":"9783668451933","price":20.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783668451933_p0.jpg?v=1763728495","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783668451933","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
