Degtyarev Andrey Alekseevich Methodological Approaches and Conceptual Models Involved in the Interpretation of Political Decisions (II) . – Polis. Political Studies. 2003. No. 2. https://doi.org/10.17976/jpps/2003.02.14
The journal continues the publication of A.A.Degtyaryov's article (for its first part see Polis, 2003, No. 1) on theories of political decision making (PDM). In this second part of the article, the author concentrates on pluralist, elitist, neo-Marxist and neo-corporatist approaches to the modelling of the PDM processes. Retracing the development and interdependence of different models, the scholar concludes that all the concepts underlying them have, as their common subject of research, political representation; which exactly makes them classifiable in one whole theoretical complex.
