The game-theoretic analysis of rights forms a rapidly growing field of study to which this book makes an important contribution. Van Hees combines the game-theoretic approach with the results and tools from logic in particular from the logic of norms. The resulting synthesis between logic and game theory provides a firm foundation for the game-theoretic approach. The analysis shows how different types of right are related to the strategic opportunities of individuals and of groups of individuals. Furthermore the book makes an important contribution to the theory of liberalism in particular to the study of the so-called `liberal paradoxes . It demonstrates how the paradoxes resurface in the new decision-theoretic framework. In fact they not only do so at the level of `ordinary decision making but also at the level of constitutional decision making.
