Summary note

"Bargains are a fact of political life. But if bargaining inevitably involves asymmetric power, can it ever be just? Drawing on an analogy to the private law of contracts and on case studies across arenas of civic life, Democratic Deals shows that, subject to proper limits, bargaining can secure political equality and protect fundamental interests."-- Provided by publisher.
