 Social Choice Theory - Philosophy Dictionary of Arguments
 
Social choice theory: The Social choice theory examines collective decision-making processes within societies. It explores how individual preferences combine to make group choices, often using mathematical models. This theory delves into voting systems, societal preferences, and how to aggregate individual opinions into a collective decision, considering factors like fairness, efficiency, and the impact of different voting mechanisms on outcomes.
