ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to initiate readers who are not familiar with vast literature to some of the intricacies of the problem. When people disagree but must act collectively, they often resort to various voting mechanisms to resolve their conflict. The voting mechanism invited this insincere voting. From a pragmatic point of view, when dealing with large numbers of people who deserve to have a voice in the outcome, the authors are stuck with variants of majority rule, and unfortunately, this invites strategic, game-theoretic behavior. It also engenders problems in designing processes for multiparty negotiations. As 1974, when Wysocki, Yarosh, and Zullo started their joint venture, they had anticipated they would have differences of opinion, and they agreed at that time to resolve disagreements by majority rule. They have great respect for one another and have never resorted to strategic voting; each issue is considered separately and voted on, and no logrolling has ever taken place.
