    Revolution of Rational Choice and Development of Modern Western Group Theory——From the Perspective of How Interest Groups Are Formed

    The marked development of modern group theory is closely related to its methodological breakthroughs.In the eyes of pluralism,which is heavily influenced by behaviorism,it is the changes in social structure that force people with common interest to form interest groups voluntarily.But from the angle of collective action theory,which assumes a rational analytic method,the collective action leading to formation of interest groups will encounter voluntary failure.The controversy between pluralism theory and collective action theory not only illustrates the methodological change from behaviorism to rational choice,but also paves the way for the development of group theory.

    Evolution of Collective Action Mechanism:from Individual Rationality to Social Capital
    GAO Chun-ya
    Teaching and Research    2008, (8): 78-82.  
    Abstract1233)      PDF(pc) (942KB)(1858)       Save
    With the development of social division,the interdependence between group members is becoming stronger,which makes it necessary for people to achieve common interest through collective choice.In the eyes of the theory of collective action,common interest is not sufficient condition for voluntary cooperation,and the free-riding will lead to voluntary failure.From the view of the theory of social capital,the decision-making of group members is not an economic process of calculation between cost and benefit,but a social process which is affected by non-economic incentive.The trust resulting from interactions can check the motive of free-riding,creating favorable condition for collective action.
